Airway pressure changes observable with constant-flow inflation and an end-inspiratory pause.

Constant-flow inflation and a prolonged end-inspiratory pause were studied, observing the airway pressures in model lungs. The technique demonstrated the changes associated with compliance, resistance and gas redistribution under varying conditions. The studies suggest that when intratracheal pressures indicate a large element of gas redistribution, constant flow inflation and end-inspiratory pause produce pendelluft, and other pressure patterns are preferable for I.P.P.V.

Respiratory mechanics with constant flow inspiration. A comparison of two measurement techniques.

Resperatory compliance and resistance were measured during positive pressure ventilation in anaesthtized, paralysed dogs. Airway pressures measured during constant-flow inspiration allowed the calculation of pulmonary and chest-wall resistances, and static and non-static compliances. Contiguous studies of dynamic compliance and resistance allowed comparison of the two techniques, and the level of agreement was reasonalble. Cconstant-flow inflation of the lungs allows a simple means of measuring respiratory mechanics, and should be valid for the observation of short-term changes in the apnoeic patient.

Accurate volume ventilation of neonates with maintenance of humidification.

A method is presented for producing adequate humidification and accurate volume ventilation of neonates. This was effected by pressurizing the humidifier and fresh gas flow up to the T-piece. By using a ventilator which acted as a timed occluder of the T-piece, the system functioned as an accurate flow generator. Its precision of ventilation was confirmed with a neonatal test lung.
