Aerosol dispersion in a ventilator circuit: towards a model for enhancing our understanding of ventilator-associated pneumonia
Background Patients receiving mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours are at risk for developing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Methods We investigated aerosol flow in a ventilator circuit attached to test lungs to better understand how airflow dynamics in ventilator tubing can con...
