The Ventilator Training Alliance (VTA) app released earlier this year by Getinge and other major ventilator manufacturers now surpasses 60,000 downloads and receives innovation awards while continuing to support frontline medical workers during COVID-19.

Mechanical ventilation – the most used short-term life support technique worldwide for patients that cannot breathe on their own – is a key component in the ongoing fight against the new coronavirus COVID-19. Already since the early 1970’s, Getinge has provided the global medical community with state-of-the-art solutions for ventilation in critical care.
