    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Anesthesiology

    Background:

    • Current ventilators often lack versatility for diverse patient populations and ventilation needs.
    • A need exists for a single ventilator system capable of handling both anesthetic delivery and long-term mechanical ventilation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To modify a Siemens 900C ventilator for universal patient application (neonates to adults).
    • To adapt the ventilator for use in anesthesia delivery as a combined unit.
    • To enhance the ventilator's utility for both short-term anesthesia and long-term respiratory support.

    Main Methods:

    • Modification of a Siemens 900C mechanical ventilator.
    • Integration of anesthetic delivery capabilities into the modified ventilator system.
    • Testing the modified system for performance in simulated anesthesia and ventilation scenarios.

    Main Results:

    • The modified Siemens 900C ventilator successfully accommodates a wide range of patient sizes, from neonates to adults.
    • The system is capable of functioning as a standalone anesthesia delivery unit when combined with an anesthesia machine.
    • The modifications allow for seamless transition between anesthetic and long-term ventilation modes.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified Siemens 900C ventilator provides a versatile solution for anesthesia and long-term ventilation across all patient age groups.
    • This integrated system simplifies operating room setup and potentially improves patient care by offering a single, adaptable device.
