    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neonatal Intensive Care
    • Respiratory Physiology

    Background:

    • Neonatal respiratory distress requires advanced ventilation solutions.
    • Existing ventilators may not adequately support simultaneous tracheal suction and ventilation.
    • Minimizing dead space and moving parts is critical for neonatal respiratory devices.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel neonatal respirator designed for simultaneous tracheal suction and ventilation.
    • To evaluate the performance of this new respirator under various lung mechanics.
    • To assess the impact of tracheal suction on ventilation parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a novel respirator with a partly disposable air supply and minimal moving parts.
    • Testing using a pneumatic lung-thorax analogue simulating varied lung mechanics.
    • Simulation of tracheal suction to investigate effects on tidal volume and alveolar pressure.
    • Determination of triggervolume and response time.

    Main Results:

    • The respirator demonstrated characteristics of both flow- and pressure-preset ventilators.
    • Tracheal suction during ventilation did not negatively impact tidal volume delivery.
    • Alveolar pressure remained positive throughout the respiratory cycle, even during suction in mechanical ventilation with PEEP.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel neonatal respirator effectively supports simultaneous tracheal suction and ventilation.
    • The device maintains critical ventilation parameters, including positive alveolar pressure, during suction.
    • This innovation offers a promising advancement for neonatal respiratory care.
