    This study reviews ventilator classification systems, finding most lack power considerations crucial for performance. Recommendations include backing classifications with bench tests and clinical trials for better evaluation.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Respiratory Care

    Background:

    • Ventilator classification systems are essential for standardizing device evaluation.
    • Existing systems often overlook critical performance parameters like power.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically assess current ventilator classification systems.
    • To identify limitations in existing classification frameworks, particularly the omission of power.

    Main Methods:

    • Review and analysis of reported ventilator classification systems.
    • Commentary on the utility and shortcomings of identified systems.

    Main Results:

    • Most reviewed classification systems do not incorporate the concept of power.
    • Power is identified as a significant factor influencing ventilator performance.

    Conclusions:

    • Ventilator classification systems should integrate power assessment.
    • Future classifications require validation through rigorous bench testing and clinical trials.
    • High-frequency ventilation classification remains inadequately defined.
