A new standard in neonatal ventilation
VG-PS is now a standard mode of ventilation available
with the neonatal option of the Engstrom Carestation.
With proven accuracy, synchrony, and additional safety,
VG-PS allows clinicians to select the optimal level of
support – and adapt quickly to meet changing require-
ments. It offers consistency in volume regardless of the
type of breath delivered, and it provides synchrony of
both the inspiratory and expiratory phases of a breath.
Engström Carestation Highlights
• Integrated ventilation and monitoring
– Optional proximal Neo Flow Sensor with
Neonatal ventilation
• Metabolics, advanced monitoring parameters,
and gas exchange measurements via plug-and-play
modules (Adult and Pediatrics)
• Direct lung volume measurement with FRC/INview
(Adult and Pediatrics)
• Easy to maintain, low cost of ownership
• Adaptable and flexible to your environment –
NICU through Step-down
• Advanced aerosolized medication delivery via
Aeroneb Pro and Aeroneb Solo
• Dual-mode (pressure controlled volume guarantee)
and Non-Invasive (NIV) ventilation capability (optional)
