Simple low-cost construction and calibration of accurate pneumotachographs for monitoring mechanical ventilation in low-resource settings
Assessing tidal volume during mechanical ventilation is critical to improving gas exchange while avoiding ventilator-induced lung injury. Conventional flow and volume measurements are usually carried out by built-in pneumotachographs in the ventilator or by stand-alone flowmeters. Such flow/volume m...
