Mechanical ventilator flow and pressure sensors: Does location matter?

Journal of Mechanical Ventilation, 2023
Introduction Accurate measurements of ventilatory outputs are crucial during mechanical ventilation support. These measurements are achieved through sensors that monitor parameters such as flow/volumes and pressures. External and internal flow sensors
