BiPAP, CPAP & Ventilator on Rent in Mandi at Home

CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) delivers a single fixed pressure throughout the breathing cycle - used primarily for obstructive sleep apnea and mild respiratory failure. BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) delivers two different pressure levels - higher pressure during inhalation (IPAP) and lower during exhalation (EPAP) - making it easier to breathe out. BiPAP is used for COPD, respiratory failure, post-ICU weaning, and patients who cannot tolerate CPAP.

BiPAP machine on rent starts from Rs 4,000 per month for a standard BiPAP and goes up to Rs 7,000 per month for an auto-adjusting BiPAP-ST with backup rate. CPAP rental starts from Rs 2,500 per month. Home ventilator rental starts from Rs 8,000 per month. Call us for exact pricing based on your patient's prescribed settings.

Yes, a doctor's prescription is required. The prescription specifies the prescribed pressure settings (IPAP, EPAP, backup rate for BiPAP; pressure for CPAP), interface type (nasal mask, full-face mask), and therapy hours. We set the machine precisely to the prescribed settings before delivery and seal the settings as per medical protocol.

BiPAP is commonly prescribed for: COPD exacerbation and chronic respiratory failure, post-ICU weaning from invasive ventilation, neuromuscular disease (ALS, MND, muscular dystrophy), obesity hypoventilation syndrome, central sleep apnea, congestive heart failure with Cheyne-Stokes breathing, and post-COVID lung disease with persistent low oxygen levels.

A BiPAP provides non-invasive positive pressure ventilation through a mask - the patient breathes spontaneously and the BiPAP assists. It requires an intact airway and patient cooperation. A ventilator can provide full mechanical ventilation, including invasive (through a tracheostomy or endotracheal tube) support - breathing FOR the patient when they cannot breathe adequately themselves. Ventilators are for critically ill or ventilator-dependent patients.

Yes - home ventilator care is possible for stable ventilator-dependent patients with proper planning. This requires: a home ventilator, a qualified critical care nurse (24/7), a backup power supply (UPS/generator), a spare ventilator circuit, suction machine, and emergency protocols. Zorgers provides both the home ventilator and the nursing care team for complete ICU-at-home setup. Assessment by a pulmonologist is essential before starting home ventilator care.

Yes. Our technician delivers and sets up the BiPAP or CPAP machine with the prescribed settings, demonstrates how to fit the mask correctly, how to clean the mask and humidifier chamber, how to read the machine display, and what to do if the patient feels uncomfortable. Family members and caregivers are trained on the complete setup during installation.

BiPAP machine rental includes: the BiPAP machine (settings programmed as per prescription), nasal or full-face mask with headgear, ventilator circuit and tubing, heated humidifier (if prescribed), cleaning supplies, free delivery and setup at home, settings configuration by trained technician, and technical support throughout rental.

Daily: rinse the mask and headgear in mild soapy water and air dry. Weekly: clean the tubing, humidifier chamber, and reusable filters with distilled water. Never use hot water or harsh chemicals. The machine's external body should be wiped with a damp cloth. Our team provides a detailed maintenance guide and can schedule monthly check-ups if required.

Respiratory equipment refers to medical devices that assist or replace the breathing function in patients with lung disease, respiratory failure, or breathing disorders. Devices available on rent from Zorgers include: BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) - for COPD, respiratory failure, and post-ICU weaning; CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) - for obstructive sleep apnea and mild respiratory failure; Home Ventilator - for ventilator-dependent patients requiring full or partial mechanical breathing support; Nebulizer - converts liquid bronchodilator or steroid medication into inhalable mist (asthma, COPD); Suction Machine - removes airway secretions in patients who cannot cough effectively. The right device is determined entirely by the patient's diagnosis and the treating pulmonologist's or intensivist's prescription.

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) - BiPAP and CPAP - delivers respiratory support through a fitted mask without requiring a breathing tube or tracheostomy. It is strongly preferred for home respiratory therapy because: no surgical procedure or anaesthesia is required to start it; the patient can eat, drink, speak, and remove the mask briefly; risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia is dramatically lower than with invasive ventilation; it can be started, adjusted, and stopped by a trained nurse without a doctor physically present; and patient comfort and tolerance are far better for long-term use. Invasive mechanical ventilation is used only when the patient cannot maintain an open airway, or when NIV has failed despite maximal settings.

A BiPAP machine delivers pressurized air through a fitted nasal or full-face mask at two levels: a higher pressure during inhalation (IPAP) that expands the lungs more fully than the patient can achieve alone, and a lower pressure during exhalation (EPAP) that makes breathing out easier. For COPD patients with CO2 retention (hypercapnia), BiPAP is the first-line non-invasive treatment - the increased ventilation removes accumulated CO2 and improves oxygenation, avoiding the need for invasive mechanical ventilation in most cases. For post-ICU patients weaning off ventilators, BiPAP bridges the gap between full mechanical support and independent breathing. It is typically used for 8-16 hours per day initially, with sessions gradually reduced as the patient's lung function improves.

A nebulizer converts liquid medication into a fine aerosol mist that the patient inhales directly into the lungs through a mouthpiece or mask. Medications used include: bronchodilators (Salbutamol, Ipratropium) that relax and widen narrowed airways in COPD and asthma; corticosteroids (Budesonide) that reduce airway inflammation; and mucolytics (hypertonic saline) that loosen thick secretions in bronchiectasis. Nebulizer sessions (10-15 minutes, 2-4 times daily) are done separately from BiPAP sessions as they address different aspects of care: BiPAP provides ventilatory support (breathing mechanics), while the nebulizer delivers pharmacological airway treatment. Some advanced BiPAP circuits allow inline nebulization during the BiPAP session for patients who cannot tolerate breaks from ventilatory support.
