The GIULIA is a specialized intensive therapy ventilator designed by GINEVRI for newborns, including those of low birth weight and premature infants. This time-cycled ventilator features a flow trigger, enabling the performance of conventional ventilation modes with a guaranteed volume mode.
Technical characteristics: Ginevri (Italy) neonatal intensive care ventilator, CE EN 60601-1 and EN 60601-2-20 certified. Specialises in patented ultra-sensitive cycle-time trigger ventilation (minimum 0.05 L/min). Unique market capacity for conventional invasive ventilation AND advanced non-invasive synchronised ventilation without circuit change (only patient interface replaced). Unique proprietary algorithm for non-invasive synchronised mode leak compensation, maintains constant expiratory pressure, guarantees nasal prong accuracy. 10.4″ multi-parameter colour touch screen (3 simultaneous curves/loops). Weight 18 kg, dimensions 38×33×38 cm. Safety class IEC 601.1/IEC 62.5: I B. USB pen drive data export even during active ventilation. Battery life >3 hours.
| Ventilation mode | Description |
| Synchronised Invasive SIMV | Synchronised intermittent mandatory ventilation |
| Synchronised SNIMV | Synchronised intermittent mandatory nasal ventilation |
| Synchronised SIPPV | Synchronised intermittent positive pressure |
| IPPV Non-synchronised | Intermittent positive pressure |
| VTV Volume control | Guaranteed target volume (invasive only) |
| CPAP/NCPAP Non-invasive | Continuous positive airway pressure/nasal |
| Synchronised intermittent positive nasal pressure ventilation | Nasal intermittent positive pressure synchronised |
| HHFNC High-flow | Heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula |
| Apnoea support | NCPAP + automatic backup |
Target patients: Premature infants of all gestational ages, very low birth weight infants (ELBW <1000g), unstable term newborns, children undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, apnoea support patients, candidates for gradual weaning from invasive to non-invasive ventilation.
Clinical applications: Conventional invasive ventilation in the delivery room, intensive care in NICU/NICU, synchronised invasive ventilation SIMV/SNIMV, progressive non-invasive ventilation NCPAP/NIPPV/SNIPPV, facilitated apnoea support, LISA (minimally invasive surfactant extraction) compatible, seamless invasive ↔ non-invasive transition, high-flow cardiac ventilation or heated/humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHFNC).
Specific features: Ultra-sensitive trigger (minimum 0.05 L/min) detecting minimal spontaneous effort. Patented leak algorithm maintains stable end-expiratory PEEP in the presence of nasal interface leaks. Rapid transition from invasive to non-invasive mode by replacing only the patient interface (not the entire circuit) = reduced costs/optimised weaning time. 10.4″ touchscreen displaying 3 simultaneous curves for accurate dysfunction diagnosis. Automated USB data export for compliance documentation. Intuitive, ergonomic interface.
Patient benefits: Natural breathing synchronisation minimises pulmonary barotrauma. Diaphragmatic stress protection. Gentle, progressive ventilation for cerebral neuroprotection. Flexible invasive weaning adapted to clinical trajectory. Maximum respiratory comfort.
Clinician benefits: Versatility with modes unique to the market, meeting varying acuity requirements. Seamless transition reduces weaning complications. Visualisation of 3 simultaneous curves for accurate diagnosis. Automated data export for compliance documentation. Reassuring apnoea support reduces false alarms. Compliance with modern guidelines for non-invasive synchronisation.
