The cost of using a ventilator for a day includes 3 main items, ranging from about $700 to $900. The routine daily cost of a ventilator includes $20 per hour for ventilator-assisted breathing, $5 per hour for respiratory function monitoring, and $5 per hour for oxygen pump inhalation. Pricing may vary somewhat from hospital to hospital, so please refer to your local hospital for specific pricing. In addition to this, there are some additional costs. Ventilators also require tubing costs, and the tubing has to be changed 1 or 2 times a week, which is about $200~300 per set of tubing. Ventilators also require humidification bottles, which need to be humidified with saline and sterilized water for injection every day, which should also be calculated in the daily cost. The upper ventilator requires daily sputum suction, the frequency of which depends on the patient’s condition and the amount of sputum, and will also be calculated into the daily cost.
