Summary

Anaesthesia ventilators performed accurately under normal conditions. However, several models failed to maintain performance with increased lung resistance or decreased compliance, requiring adjustments for extreme ventilatory conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Devices
  • Anesthesiology
  • Respiratory Mechanics

Context:

  • Anaesthesia ventilators are critical for patient respiratory support during surgery.
  • Instrumental testing of ventilators is essential to ensure their reliability and safety.
  • Previous studies have evaluated ventilator performance, but comprehensive testing under diverse conditions is ongoing.

Purpose:

  • To instrumentally test and evaluate the performance of eleven anaesthesia ventilators under various simulated ventilatory conditions.
  • To assess the reliability of spirometry, ventilation rate, and pressure measurements in these ventilators.
  • To determine the impact of increased fresh gas flow and downstream resistances on ventilator performance.

Summary:

  • Eleven anaesthesia ventilators were tested using a two-compartment model lung, pneumotachograph, and pressure gauge.

  • Tests included reliability of spirometry, ventilation rate, pressure measurements, and effects of altered compliance and resistance.
  • While most ventilators performed accurately under standard conditions, several failed when faced with increased lung resistance or decreased compliance.

    • Impact:

    • Identifies specific anaesthesia ventilator models that may not maintain performance under challenging respiratory conditions.
    • Highlights the need for inspired volume adjustment in ventilators during extreme ventilatory conditions.
    • Informs clinicians and manufacturers about ventilator limitations and areas for improvement in device design and clinical application.
