A Constant Ratio Air-Oxygen Mixer

Inspired oxygen concentration has been measured when ventilating lung models and patients with Bird pressure cycled respirators. It has been found that with normal lungs the inspired oxygen concentration is predictable from the end-inspiratory pressure recorded on the respirator manometer. When lung mechanics are abnormal, the relationship between inspired oxygen concentration and end-inspiratory pressure is not sufficiently precise to allow accurate prediction of inspired concentration of oxygen.
