The in-vitro performance of a modern portable respirator in different lung models and as an alternative intensive care respirator: A simulation based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transporting ventilated patients safely and without loss of efficacy is a challenge. Portable ventilators are generally used to transport critically ill patients, but their performance is often limited.

Objective

This study aimed to compare the in-vitro performance of a modern portable respirator with a modern intensive care respirator for different lung settings.

Design

An in-vitro testing of a portable and an intensive care respirator.

Settings

Anaesthesia Department at the University Children's Hospital Zurich.

Main outcome measures

The portable respirator Hamilton T1 was compared with the established intensive care respirator bellavista1000 (BV) while applying different settings with the ASL 5000 (ASL) device. The ASL can simulate neonatal
