A paediatric ventilator with a fluidic control system.

A paediatric ventilator has been designed basically as a fluidic-logic controlled T-piece occluder. Inspiratory and expiratory time, inflation pressure limit, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and inspiratory flow-rate are controlled independently and intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) is available. Warning systems are provided for failure of the driving as, low airway pressure and inspiratory pressure limit. The breathing circuit is isolated from the control and warning systems for ease of sterilization.

Air Pressure

Behaviour of three resuscitators under hyperbaric conditions.

Three portable resuscitators were tested under hyperbaric conditions--the Pneupac Ventilator/Resuscitator, the Motivus Resuscitator (Type P.V.),and the Stephenson Minuteman Resuscitator. The first two delivered an inadequate tidal volume at 2 ATA. The third, while delivering a constant tidal volume, did so at an increasingly inadequate ventilatory frequency.

Atmospheric Pressure

A fluidically controlled ventilator for bronchoscopy.

A simple time-cycled device uses an oscillating, fluidic, bistable element to control the high-pressure oxygen, supply to the ejector of a ventilating bronchoscope. Both manual and automatic modes of function are available, and inflation pressure and respiratory rate are controlled. Its construction is simple, the cost is low and the number of components is small.
