    This study introduces a microcomputer-controlled respiratory servo system for animal pulmonary function testing. The versatile ventilator system enables complex breathing maneuvers and respiratory gas studies.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Respiratory Physiology
    • Animal Models

    Background:

    • Pulmonary function assessment in paralyzed animals requires specialized equipment.
    • Existing mechanical ventilators may lack the flexibility for complex testing procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and evaluate a microcomputer-controlled respiratory servo system.
    • To enable comprehensive pulmonary function testing and respiratory gas studies in paralyzed animals.

    Main Methods:

    • A hydraulically operated cylinder-piston assembly and solenoid valves were utilized.
    • The system functions as a volume-flow-preset ventilator with adjustable cycling modes.
    • Integration with a gas analyzer allows for "demand" ventilation and end-tidal gas control.

    Main Results:

    • The system successfully performed complex breathing maneuvers for lung function tests.
    • Variable and constant gas flow rates were achievable.
    • Set-point control of end-tidal PCO2 and PO2 was demonstrated.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed respiratory servo system offers high flexibility for respiratory parameter selection and timing.
    • It is particularly suitable for advanced respiratory gas studies in animal models.
    • The system integrates mechanical ventilation with extensive pulmonary function testing capabilities.
