Mechanical ventilators are machines that aid patients with
respiratory problems by supplying high oxygen concentrations to their lungs. An
endotracheal tube directly placed to the airway or an NIV (non-invasive
ventilation) mask connects a patient to a ventilator. It's also a diagnostic
instrument for determining static compliance of airway resistance and irregular
respiratory system functioning. Mechanical ventilators are essential for
lowering the amount of energy expended by a patient while breathing. As a
result, the body of the patient can concentrate on fighting or recovering from
other infections. Breathing problems can arise for a variety of reasons,
including nervous system injury, unconsciousness due to acute infections, drug
overdose, and toxin build-up. When certain disorders prohibit individuals from
breathing normally, mechanical ventilators can help.
Global Mechanical
Ventilators Market: Restraints
The worldwide
mechanical ventilators market is projected to be hampered by patient
interface challenges in non-invasive ventilation. Minimizing leakage between
the mask and the patient's skin, maximising patient comfort, guaranteeing
patient compliance, and minimising dead-space are some of the major issues
faced by non-invasive ventilator manufacturers in spreading the use of such
devices in the market (CO2 rebreathing).
Furthermore, modest health-care facilities' economic
constraints are projected to limit the use of mechanical ventilators. Rural and
suburban hospitals deliver the finest quality of treatment to their patients
while also dealing with problems posed by their typically remote geographic
location, small size, limited manpower, and limited financial resources. The
low patient volumes in rural hospitals make it difficult for them to manage the
high fixed costs. The low patient loads at rural hospitals make it difficult
for them to manage the substantial fixed expenditures associated with running a
hospital. As a result, they are especially vulnerable to policy and market
changes, as well as Medicare and Medicaid payment reductions.
Global Mechanical
Ventilators Market Trends
Over the forecast period, the worldwide mechanical
ventilators market is expected to rise due to the rising prevalence of sleep
apnea. According to a study published in July 2019 titled "Estimation of
the global prevalence and burden of obstructive sleep apnea: a literature-based
analysis," 936 million adults aged 30–69 years have mild to severe
obstructive sleep apnea and 425 million adults aged 30–69 years have moderate
to severe obstructive sleep apnea globally.
