This research reveals a modified ventilator system providing efficient support in critical care settings, implying better space utilization in ICUs.
We developed a new pressure-limited ventilator system by modifying the Bird #7001M ventilator. Our aims were to free ICU floor space by wall-mounting the ventilator, and to employ a pressure-limited, gas-powered ventilator similar to our transport ventilator to aid in the training of members of our transport team. The system provides a peak pressure of 150 cm H2O and a peak flow of 208 L/min. When coupled with heated pneumatic nebulizers, it quietly provides a maximum gas flow of 208 L/min with nebulized water at 37°C. We successfully used this system for over 4 years to provide a wide range of ventilatory support and oxygen therapy.
