PVP1-The People's Ventilator Project: A fully open, low-cost, pressure-controlled ventilator research platform compatible with adult and pediatric uses.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Mechanical ventilators are safety-critical devices that help patients breathe, commonly found in hospital intensive care units (ICUs)-yet, the high costs and proprietary nature of commercial ventilators inhibit their use as an educational and research ...

Effect of external PEEP in patients under controlled mechanical ventilation with an auto-PEEP of 5 cmH2O or higher. [PDF]

, 2016
In some patients with auto-positive end-expiratory pressure (auto-PEEP), application of PEEP lower than auto-PEEP maintains a constant total PEEP, therefore reducing the inspiratory threshold load without detrimental cardiovascular or respiratory effects.

The mechanics of mechanical ventilation [PDF]

Revista Médica de Minas Gerais, 2014
The Ventilator has represented an advance in the respiratory support for patients on anesthesia and intensive care. The ventilatory support increases the chance of survival in patients with respiratory failure, and / or major surgical procedures. This paper consists of a summary of advances in the ventilatory support, in describing the physiological ...

Design for a Squirrel Cage Fan with Double Arc Blade

Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2020
Squirrel cage fans are commonly used in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems. The single arc blade model is commonly used in this type of fans since it can be shaped simply only by two parameters of inlet and outlet angle of blade ...
