Ventilation
Intensive care Coravita
We care for patients with both “non-invasive” and “invasive” out-of-hospital ventilation therapies, and the care and therapy plan are individually tailored to each patient.

Individual therapy plan
Our specially trained staff provide intensive care and/or respiratory care for patients up to 24 hours a day. The team for a patient consists of up to six registered nurses. We strive to ensure that only this team is used consistently. A team leader presides over the care team. She or he is your contact person for all questions. Our patients can also be cared for by our primary care physician if desired. Specialists in ENT diseases, neurologists, dermatologists, urologists, etc. are also our medical partners.
Flexible specialty care to meet your needs – In our specialized residential facility or on an outpatient basis in 1:1 care, we provide out-of-hospital critical care for patients of all ages :
- with out-of-hospital ventilation
- in the so-called waking coma (UWS)
- with minimal consciousness state (MCS)
We provide care to patients of all ages whose diagnosis results in a need for ventilation and/or intensive care (24-hour critical care).
At home or in specialized residential facilities (special form of housing in accordance with the Housing and Care Quality Act), we care for out-of-hospital ventilated patients, people with disabilities and children in need of care, from premature babies to adolescents of full age. We base our care on the different care and nursing needs due to the different clinical pictures, such as:
- Neuromuscular diseases such as ALS
- MS (Multiple Sclerosis)
- Muscular dystrophy/muscular atrophy
- Paraplegia
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
- Pulmonary emphysema
- Muscular dystrophy
- Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS)
- Post-polio syndrome
- Restrictive diseases such as post-TBC syndrome.
- Lung scaffold disease
- Tumor diseases (ENT area & pulmonary area)
What does the tracheal cannula and a tracheostoma mean for those affected?
Quote: “A tracheostomy tube ensures the patient’s ability to breathe and is therefore a life-sustaining measure. However, many changes also occur that can lead to impairments and must be taken into account, especially for those caring for the patient.
Since the air breathed by patients with a tracheostoma and blocked cannula no longer passes through the mouth and nose, the senses of smell and taste are significantly impaired. Not only does this interfere with our patients’ usual feeding habits, but the tracheostomy tube in the throat also makes swallowing and the coordination of breathing and swallowing more difficult.
The larynx simply cannot lift as well with the heavy cannula. The obstruction of the swallowing act in turn causes increased leakage of saliva from the cannula or the mouth. The saliva must be suctioned out to prevent it from entering the deeper airways and to prevent it from clogging the cannula.” Our nurses are highly trained and specialized in the care of patients with tracheal cannulas.
