Intermittent mandatory ventilation. A method to expand clinical applications.

D R Miranda, A Mullie

    Acta Anaesthesiologica Belgica
    |January 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    A modified ventilator enhances intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) capabilities, allowing adjustable breathing rates and controlled or spontaneous respiration. This safe adaptation broadens the concept of IMV for improved patient support.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Respiratory Medicine

    Background:

    • The Cameco URS-701 ventilator has limitations in adjustable respiratory frequency.
    • Classical intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) systems require specific operational parameters.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To modify the Cameco URS-701 ventilator to enhance its IMV capabilities.
    • To introduce a safe and adaptable IMV system for ventilators like the Engstrom 150.

    Main Methods:

    • Modification of the Cameco URS-701 ventilator's electrical circuit.
    • Introduction of a timer to control ventilation frequency and patterns.

    Main Results:

    • The modified ventilator supports frequencies from 0 to 40 breaths per minute.
    • The modification preserves the ventilator pattern of each cycle.

  • The system allows for alternating periods of controlled and spontaneous respiration.

    • Conclusions:

    • The described modification creates a safe and effective IMV system.
    • This adaptation expands the functional concept of intermittent mandatory ventilation.
    • The enhanced ventilator offers greater flexibility in patient respiratory support.
