The Belt
The new Exsufflation Belt is a non-invasive ventilator, Intermittent Abdominal Pressure Ventilation (IAPV) device developed by Lung Assist II. This new design incorporates the latest technology to bring an effective and safe delivery of passive inspiration for patients requiring mechanical ventilation without having to use a nasal or face mask. The Exsufflation Belt works by providing abdominal compressions and is a simple and easy first choice for any patient requiring non-invasive mechanical ventilation. The device is designed to be comfortable, easy to use, and adjustable to fit a variety of body sizes and shapes. It can be used in different settings both in or out of home and even in a work environment and it can be powered by most standard portable ventilators.

Intermittent positive abdominal mechanical ventilation is a valid alternative to non-invasive mechanical ventilation that must use a nasal cannula or face mask. IAPV is a logical alternative to mechanical ventilatory systems that require the use of masks or nasal cannulas. The Exsufflation Belt has been shown to improve gas exchange and dyspnea symptoms. The patients' mobility and quality of life is enhanced. It may decrease the incidence of pneumonia and may avert the need for tracheal intubation or a tracheotomy. The system is more cost-effective than traditional ventilation methods of applying positive pressure to the face via mask or cannula.
