    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Cardiopulmonary Physiology

    Background:

    • Rebreathing studies are crucial for estimating cardiac output.
    • Existing methods may be limited during exercise stress testing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new type of switching valve for rebreathing studies.
    • To highlight its suitability for exercise stress testing.

    Main Methods:

    • The valve utilizes a deformable elastic element actuated by low-pressure compressed air.
    • Remote operation is enabled via a compressed air line.

    Main Results:

    • The valve is lightweight (110 g).
    • It has been successfully used in clinical graded exercise stress tests for over two years.
