Increasing ventilator surge capacity in COVID 19 pandemic: design, manufacture and in vitro–in vivo testing in anaesthetized healthy pigs of a rapid prototyped mechanical ventilator

BMC Research Notes, 2020
Objective The advent of new technologies has made it possible to explore alternative ventilator manufacturing to meet the worldwide shortfall for mechanical ventilators especially in pandemics. We describe a method using rapid prototyping technologies to

Entropy Generation Rates in Two-Dimensional Rayleigh–Taylor Turbulence Mixing

Entropy, 2018
Entropy generation rates in two-dimensional Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) turbulence mixing are investigated by numerical calculation. We mainly focus on the behavior of thermal entropy generation and viscous entropy generation of global quantities with ...

Abdominal functional electrical stimulation to assist ventilator weaning in acute tetraplegia: a cohort study [PDF]

, 2015
Background Severe impairment of the major respiratory muscles resulting from tetraplegia reduces respiratory function, causing many people with tetraplegia to require mechanical ventilation during the acute stage of injury.

Low-Cost, Open-Source Mechanical Ventilator with Pulmonary Monitoring for COVID-19 Patients

Actuators, 2020
This paper shows the construction of a low-cost, open-source mechanical ventilator. The motivation for constructing this kind of ventilator comes from the worldwide shortage of mechanical ventilators for treating COVID-19 patients—the COVID-19 pandemic ...

Mechanical power in AVM-2 versus conventional ventilation modes in a normal lung model: A bench study

Journal of Mechanical Ventilation, 2022
Introduction Recent studies suggested that the energy delivered by the mechanical ventilator to the lungs termed the mechanical power can induce and increase the risks of ventilator induced lung injury.
