Several of the world’s ventilator manufacturers announce a newly formed Ventilator Training Alliance (VTA) to support frontline medical providers to access a centralized repository of ventilator training. The content can be found in a mobile app managed by Allego.
“Supporting
our customers and facilitating ventilator training continues to be key to all
stakeholders in this project”, says Charles Merchant, Senior Director Global
Therapy Development Acute Care Therapies at Getinge. “Dräger, GE Healthcare,
Hamilton Medical, Medtronic, Philips, Vyaire Medical and Nihon Kohden,
together with Getinge, have joined this humanitarian training coalition”.
The
VTA app – powered by learning and readiness platform provider Allego – connects
respiratory therapists, nurses and other medical professionals with ventilator
training resources from alliance member companies, including instructional
how-to videos, manuals, troubleshooting guides, and other ventilator-operation
expertise critical to treating patients suffering from COVID-19-related
respiratory distress.
Ventilators
play a critical role in the management of patients who require assistance
because they cannot breathe effectively due to severe respiratory illness, such
as COVID-19. Speed and ease of access to ventilator training has a direct
impact on patients’ health during the COVID-19 crisis.
Content
on the VTA app can be accessed on iOS and Android devices — even in environments
with little to no Wi-Fi access — or from a web browser. The app provides
healthcare professionals’ multi-language closed captioning and mobile
background audio when multitasking.
How to Access the Ventilator
Training Alliance Hub
The
app is provided at no cost to medical professionals. To download the Ventilator
Training Alliance knowledge hub application, visit the Apple App Store or
Google Play store,
