    Area of Science:

    • Mechanical ventilation
    • Fluidic control systems
    • Respiratory therapy

    Context:

    • Acute respiratory failure necessitates mechanical ventilation.
    • Fluidic elements offer an alternative to traditional electrically powered ventilators.
    • The Monaghan 228 is a novel fluidic-driven mechanical ventilator.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the technical performance and clinical utility of the Monaghan 228 mechanical ventilator.
    • To compare the Monaghan 228 to existing sophisticated ventilators.
    • To assess the reliability and versatility of the Monaghan 228 in a clinical setting.

    Summary:

    • Technical laboratory testing demonstrated that the Monaghan 228's performance is comparable to sophisticated electrically powered ventilators.
    • The ventilator maintained consistent delivered tidal volume across varying resistance and positive end-expiratory pressure.
    • Oxygen concentration delivery showed minimal deviation (≤4.5%) from set values.
    • Clinical use in a surgical intensive care unit over two years with over 100 patients (500+ days) confirmed its reliability.

    Impact:

    • The Monaghan 228 is a versatile and reliable mechanical ventilator suitable for a wide range of conditions requiring respiratory support.
    • Fluidic ventilator technology presents a viable alternative for acute respiratory failure management.
    • This study supports the integration of fluidic-powered ventilators into critical care settings.
