The momentary wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in India has caused a crisis in medical infrastructure and exposed the shortcomings of the country’s fitness system. One of the situations of maximum apparent demand was the lack of enough ventilators to meet the really extensive demand of the pandemic.
There were only a few brands of ventilators in India before the pandemic with an annual source of a limited or safe number of ventilators. With demand expanding, more and more players continued to sign up and existing brands also increased their production.
At the end of 2021, India had a production capacity of 396,260 fans consistent with the year. From intensive care, shipments and emergencies, and anesthesia to home care ventilators, there is a global increase in demand for ventilators for COVID-19 patients who cannot breathe on their own.
While the global home fan market is expected to reach $6600 million by 2028, India is positioning itself as a third force behind North America/Europe and China/Japan in the production and source of family fans, with an estimated CAGR of 8% between 2021 and 2027.
Although home ventilation can be invasive and non-invasive, the selection of type, application and supervision or non-supervision is taken into account through the generation followed and the wisdom of the caregiver.
Although global cases and hospitalizations have declined in recent months, the concern caused by the momentary wave of COVID-19 in 2021 is valid. Deteriorating physical conditions and lung disorders, even among young people, have led to an unprecedented demand for ventilators in India.
A ventilator is just a medical device that provides a patient with mechanical ventilation the movement of the air they breathe in and out of the person’s lungs.
This device is vital for COVID-19 patients because the virus basically attacks the breathing formula and makes it difficult for them to breathe.
This chronic respiratory failure and the need to decongest hospitals and gyms make it necessary to implement invasive and non-invasive ventilators in home care services. Invasive options use a tracheostomy tube, while a mask is the most common way to apply noninvasive respirators. Invasive ventilation.
Having this house set up is an ideal solution for the healthcare industry at the height of the pandemic.
Home care ventilators (HCVs) are available in India for COVID-19 patients who require long-term mechanical ventilation. Some Indian production corporations have also started generating portable fans the size of a toaster to facilitate mobility and self-use, even at home. .
Home ventilators require hospital beds, leaving room for others who want on-site medical care. In April 2021, when the wave hit India, parliamentary documents show that the country had only 13,158 ventilators nationwide. As in September 2021, this figure had risen to 33,024, according to reports.
It is vital that home enthusiasts are portable, easy to use, and hassle-free to make remote and home use relaxing and convenient. Therefore, fans should be ergonomic and non-invasive as much as possible.
While it is vital to adhere to industry criteria and regulations in mechanical fan manufacturing, it is also mandatory to ensure that those who manage those fans are well trained. As many experts have suggested, there was an inventory of unused ventilators in India during the current wave, in hospitals where there were no qualified staff to administer them. As the country ramps up production with new market entries, there is also a need to strengthen the workforce for effective use and the most productive care imaginable.
