National Ventilator Survey

Produced by the American Association for Respiratory Care

Welcome to the start page for the National Ventilator Survey. The AARC is conducting an inventory of all ventilators in our nation’s hospitals. To prepare for the survey, we recommend completing a pre-survey worksheet (‘lite’ version or detailed version).

Supporting Materials: You will want to refer to the ventilator categorizations as noted in the list of all ventilators and the list of ventilators by company.
Demonstration: Watch the survey as it is filled out (with annotations)

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services further secures the privacy of your institution’s data through participation in the Protected Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII) program administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Resulting from the Critical Infrastructure Information Act (CII) of 2002, the PCII program protects voluntarily submitted critical infrastructure information from public release through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), state and local disclosure laws, and use in civil litigation. Additionally, PCII can not be used for regulatory purposes. Institutions and facilities sending important data into the Federal government can be assured of the highest commitment to confidentiality and security of their data.
