Ventrain Showcased as a Ventilation Innovation at the AEER Congress

During the Congress of the Spanish Association of Respiratory Endoscopy and Interventional Pulmonology (AEER), recently held, IES Medical presented the latest clinical applications of Ventrain, an innovative solution for ventilation in critical situations and complex airway procedures.

Ventrain is a manual ventilation device that allows active control of both inspiration and expiration through a lumen or catheter as narrow as 2 mm in diameter. Its compact and precise design facilitates ventilation in difficult airway management cases, whether using an adult or pediatric Frova, or via a front-of-neck access (eFONA) during a percutaneous cricothyrotomy.

During the presentation, the IES Medical team demonstrated the advantages of combining Ventrain with flexible or rigid bronchoscopes — a technique that enables direct patient ventilation through the working channel. In this way, the bronchoscope functions as a “functional endotracheal tube” (without a cuff) with an internal diameter of 2 to 2.8 mm, allowing full ventilation with normoxia and normocapnia, thanks to active expiration that effectively eliminates CO₂.

The session also featured the therapeutic peritubal bronchoscopy technique using Tritube, an ultra-thin endotracheal tube with an external diameter of 4 mm. This device provides a wide surgical field and enables Flow-Controlled Ventilation (FCV) through its cuff balloon, which can be positioned distally in the trachea or selectively in one of the bronchi. This technique can be combined with Ventrain for short procedures or with the Evone mechanical ventilator when prolonged ventilation is required.

IES Medical expressed its gratitude to the AEER Congress organizers for their collaboration, as well as to the professionals who attended the sessions and demonstrations for their interest and participation.

The event highlighted the role of Flow-Controlled Ventilation (FCV) and technologies such as Ventrain, Tritube, and Evone in enhancing the safety, precision, and effectiveness of respiratory and advanced airway procedures.
