A pressure-cycled ventilator with multiple functional behaviour.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A pressure-cycled flow generator type of ventilator is described which can be adjusted to give a wide range of inspiratory flow patterns and therefore the inspiratory pressure wave so produced can also be altered. The expiratory flow pattern can be adjusted by means of an expiratory resistance. The laboratory and clinical performance of the machine and its nebulizers are described and suggestions made for the clinical use of the different modes of action of the ventilator.

Evaluation of methods of assisted ventilation in hyaline membrane disease.
Two methods of providing assisted ventilation were compared in infants severely ill with hyaline membrane disease (HMD). 10 infants were assigned to each group. One group received ventilation with a volume-cycled respirator, and the other was ventilated using a pressure-limited ventilator and reversed I:E ratio. Both groups were well matched for severity of illness in terms of pH and blood gase...
متن کاملConventional mechanical ventilation
INTRODUCTION — Conventional mechanical ventilation refers to the delivery of full or partial ventilatory support by a volume-cycled mechanical ventilator or by pressure support. It also can include the maintenance of positive airway pressure at the end of exhalation, ie, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) [1]. (See "Physiologic and pathophysiologic consequences of positive pressure ventila...
متن کاملEvaluation of a fluidic ventilator: a new approach to mechanical ventilation.
T he emerging technology of fluid amplifiers and control devices has provided a new approach to the design and construction of mechanical ventilators. Fluidics, as this technology has come to be known, has not yet found wide application in medicine, and the fundamentals of fluid control devices are not familiar to many in that field. These are basically simple devices that employ fluids (gases ...
متن کاملThe Cape Minor Ventilator: a functional analysis and clinical appraisal.
Functional analysis indicates that the Cape Minor Ventilator is predominantly a flow generator in the inspiratory phase, electrically powered, time cycled and volume pre-set. Study of methods of oxygen enrichment show that any desired Fioa froTM air to 90% oxygen can be achieved. Clinical evaluation suggests it to be a useful, small, powerful and inexpensive ventilator. The major defect is poor...
متن کاملVentilator waveforms and the physiology of pressure support ventilation.
Pressure support ventilation (PSV) is a commonly used mode. It is patient-triggered, pressure-limited, and (normally) flow-cycled. Triggering difficulty occurring during PSV is usually due to intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure. The airway pressure generated at the initiation of inhalation is determined by the pressure support setting and the pressure rise time (pressurization rate) sett...
