Resistance of humidifiers, and inspiratory work imposed by a ventilator-humidifier circuit.
The pressures and resistances of a bubble humidifier (Bennett Cascade) and a blow-by humidifier (Fisher and Paykel) were measured and computed at gas flow rates from 4.5 to 100 litre min-1. Pressures increased with flows, with the Bennett pressures being greater at all flows. The resistance of the Fisher-Paykel increased with flows, but remained less than that of the Bennett. An inverse resista...
متن کاملPressure support compensation for inspiratory work due to endotracheal tubes and demand continuous positive airway pressure.
We evaluated the use of pressure support to compensate for the added inspiratory work of breathing due to the resistances of endotracheal tubes and a ventilator demand-valve system for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). A mechanical model was used to simulate spontaneous breathing at five respiratory rates through 7-mm, 8-mm, and 9-mm endotracheal tubes with and without a ventilator de...
متن کاملUnloading work of breathing during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation: a bench study
INTRODUCTION With the 3100B high-frequency oscillatory ventilator (SensorMedics, Yorba Linda, CA, USA), patients' spontaneous breathing efforts result in a high level of imposed work of breathing (WOB). Therefore, spontaneous breathing often has to be suppressed during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV). A demand-flow system was designed to reduce imposed WOB. METHODS An external g...
متن کاملInspiratory oscillatory flow with a portable ventilator: a bench study
INTRODUCTION We observed an oscillatory flow while ventilating critically ill patients with the Dräger Oxylog 3000 transport ventilator during interhospital transfer. The phenomenon occurred in paediatric patients or in adult patients with severe airway obstruction ventilated in the pressure-regulated or pressure-controlled mode. As this had not been described previously, we conducted a bench s...

hyperemia directly after release of the blood pressure cuff. As stated in our article, we did not measure reactive hyperemia but performed our measurements in all groups after 20 min of reperfusion. It is, therefore, unlikely that reactive hyperemia caused the observed differences between groups. We agree that further studies are needed to clarify more the mechanisms of helium preconditioning i...
