    A modified Loosko MK2 ventilator now offers intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) for newborns, with adjustable rates and minimal inspiration times. This neonatal mechanical ventilation upgrade is also economically feasible.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Medical Engineering
    • Respiratory Care

    Background:

    • Neonatal mechanical ventilation is critical for premature infants.
    • Existing ventilators may have limitations in precise control for neonatal respiratory support.
    • Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (IMV) is a mode used in neonatal care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the modification of a Loosko MK2 ventilator for neonatal intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV).
    • To evaluate the technical capabilities of the modified ventilator for neonatal application.
    • To assess the economic feasibility of this ventilator modification.

    Main Methods:

    • Modification of a standard Loosko MK2 ventilator.
    • Implementation of adjustable intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) settings.

  • Evaluation of ventilator performance parameters, including IMV rate and inspiratory time.

    • Main Results:

    • The modified Loosko MK2 ventilator successfully provides IMV in newborns.
    • The IMV rate is adjustable from 3 to 60 breaths per minute.
    • The minimum inspiratory period can be set as low as 0.1 seconds.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified Loosko MK2 ventilator offers a viable option for neonatal IMV.
    • The technical specifications support precise respiratory support for neonates.
    • The modification presents an economically feasible solution for neonatal mechanical ventilation.
