Dräger Evita 2 Dura (2000)

Mixed intensive care units taking adults and children on the same floor are served by one platform with the patient type selected at the ventilator.

Neonatal intensive care is covered where NeoFlow is fitted, from 0.5 kilograms with tidal volumes from 3 millilitres, rates to 150 per minute and flow measured proximally at the airway.

Paediatric intensive care runs from 3 kilograms with tidal volumes from 20 millilitres and inspiratory flow scaled to 6 to 30 litres per minute.

Adult intensive care runs across the full range to 2 litres with inspiratory flow to 120 litres per minute and the complete mode set.

Patients transitioning between age-defined units keep the same ventilator behaviour and mode names, which supports familiarity for staff working across more than one area.

Uncuffed tube ventilation is supported by leakage compensation, which corrects for what escapes around the tube so the displayed volume stays close to what reaches the patient.

Weaning across every patient group is served by SIMV with assisted spontaneous breathing, mandatory minute volume and CPAP with pressure support.

Three Orders of Magnitude on One Platform

Tidal volume spans 3 millilitres to 2 litres, so a neonate and an adult can be ventilated by the same trolley with the patient type selected at the machine.

Ranges That Reconfigure to the Patient

Choosing adult, paediatric or neonatal resets tidal volume, inspiratory flow and frequency limits around that group.

Proximal Measurement for the Smallest Patients

The NeoFlow sensor measures flow at the airway close to the patient, where the reading is least affected by the circuit.

Delivered Volume Kept Close to Displayed Volume

Hose system compensation accounts for tubing compliance and leakage compensation for what escapes around an uncuffed tube.

A Trigger That Detects a Small Effort

Flow trigger sensitivity adjustable from 0.3 litres per minute allows a threshold low enough to pick up a small patient's breath.

Flow Matched to the Volume Delivered

6 to 30 litres per minute for paediatric and neonatal work and up to 120 for adults, so the flow available suits the breath being given.

Rates to 150 per Minute

Neonatal frequency reaches 150 breaths per minute, with 100 available for adult and paediatric ventilation.

One Mode Set Across Every Age

IPPV, SIMV with assisted spontaneous breathing, MMV, BIPAP and CPAP with pressure support are common across patient types, so staff work with the same names throughout.

Tube Resistance Compensated

Where ATC is fitted, the resistive load of the tube is compensated during the breath, which tells most with the narrow tubes used in small patients.

One Platform to Train and Maintain

A single ventilator across a mixed unit means one set of controls to learn and one platform to service.

Neonatal Capability Stated Before Order

Whether NeoFlow is fitted, and with it the range down to 0.5 kilograms, is set out by the seller at quotation.

This Dräger Evita 2 dura was built in 2000, and the case for it rests on how much of a unit's caseload one trolley can take. Tidal volume spans three millilitres to two litres, close to three orders of magnitude, and the platform meets that by selecting a patient type and reconfiguring around it: volume, inspiratory flow and frequency limits all follow the group chosen, with flow scaling from 6 to 30 litres per minute for the smaller patients up to 120 for adults and rates reaching 150 per minute for neonatal work. Where NeoFlow is fitted, a proximal sensor measures flow at the airway and the range extends to a minimum body weight of half a kilogram. Hose system and leakage compensation keep displayed volume close to delivered volume, which carries most weight at the smallest breaths, and the trigger detects effort from 0.3 litres per minute. The mode set stays common across every patient type, so staff work with the same controls throughout. Clinical judgement remains with the treating team. The software version, fitted options including NeoFlow, and the service history are set out by the seller at quotation.
