Committed Hypnus helps with Coronavirus Patients Treatment
The outbreak of Coronavirus-19 (nCoV-19) appeared in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019. The global priority, since then, has been to stop a possible pandemic. As citizens of the world, all countries have worked to prevent outbreaks within their borders. Given the disparities in migration controls between countries, there has been widespread fear of contagion of their nationals. This fear is not unfounded; since the protocols for the prevention and management of these outbreaks by our countries in Latin America, in some cases, are not the most ideal nor rigorous.
Back to China, although we do not know the precise causes of the origin and treatment of the disease related to this nCoV-19 virus; what we do know is that is an acute respiratory condition (Wuhan Pneumonia), easily spreading and has spread to about 80,000 people, globally, with a mortality close to 2,200 people. Specifically in Hubei province of Central China, whose capital is Wuhan, the number of infected people reaches 96% of confirmed cases. The solidarity of its people and companies has not waited to help alleviate this situation. In our case, we want to highlight that Hypnus, being a small company, has made a great effort to donate 800 units of its ST830 Non-Invasive Ventilator, precisely for the Province of Hubei.
We are honored, in MR Sleep US, to represent Hypnus in Latin America. Hypnus is a manufacturer of Positive Pressure and Non-Invasive Ventilation devices; which are used for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Respiratory Diseases or Respiratory Support in patients with Neuro-muscular Diseases. One of the reasons why Hypnus donated this particular model, is that its devices has the Volume Assured tool (iVOPS); which guarantees a ore-established tidal volume in patients with respiratory difficulties, such as those caused by Wuhan Pneumonia; but still handle spontaneous breathing, even if they do it with great difficulty. This helps prevent patient intubation, avoiding possible congestion of Intensive Care Units (ICU). Allowing ICUs to deal with cases that really require Life Support Ventilation through an Endotracheal Tube.
Countries, in case of requiring devices for the treatment of possible infected patients, can count on companies such as Hypnus that have the technology to help alleviate this situation.
