Ventilation and ventilators — an update

Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology, 1988
In the five years which have passed since the previous review, the literature has been concerned more with the ways in which ventilators may be applied to patients and the effects of differing patterns of ventilation than with the design philosophy of the ventilators themselves. This account should be read in conjunction with that of 1982 [1].

THE VENTILATOR:

Critical Care Clinics, 1998
A comprehensive ventilator selection process can be a time-consuming and an overwhelming task. The needs assessment becomes the primary driving tool in the design of the selection process. From the needs assessment, the evaluation can be planned and organized according to the facility requirements, time constraints, and resources.

Mechanical ventilators and ventilator testers

2004
In the human organism, the respiratory function is involuntary and essential to life. At times, however, as in surgical operations using general anesthesia or as a result of respiratory insufficiency, the patient needs help breathing. In the first case, the general anesthesia completely stops the thoracic muscles and a mechanical ventilator is needed ...

Partial Liquid Ventilation Ventilates Better than Gas Ventilation

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2000
Partial liquid ventilation (PLV) improves oxygenation in several models of lung injury. However, PLV has only been compared with conventional gas ventilation (GV) with low PEEP. Both PLV and GV can markedly improve oxygenation when PEEP is set above the lower corner pressure (Plc) on the inspiratory pressure-volume (P-V) curve of the total respiratory ...
