Translational design for limited resource settings as demonstrated by Vent-Lock, a 3D-printed ventilator multiplexer

“…However, if Vent-Lock FloRest is placed on the patient with the highest baseline lung compliance (variable patient), air flow can be decreased, while simultaneously increasing air flow to the standard patient, until tidal volumes are equilibrated between the two. Similar investigations have also found that ventilator splitting requires delicate titration of air flow and pressures, but resulting fluctuations in the standard patient may be manageable [ 47 ]. One group found that despite these nuances requiring clinician adjustments, ARDS porcine models on multi-porcine ventilators had similar oxygenation and morbidity compared to ARDS single-ventilated porcine [ 48 ].…”

Modeling of an online learning architecture for mechanic ventilation integrating teleoperated equipment using colored Petri nets

“…In this sense, digital transformation technology can be implemented in order to minimize medical exposition in academic preparations and patient attention. Although several academic and commercial lung emulators have been developed, [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] and the pandemic scenery has motivated the design of mechanical ventilators, [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] limited information on cyber-physical architectures that allow teleoperation has been referenced. In fact, a taxonomy composed of ten properties grouped according to three criteria: buildability, adaptability, and scalability, to classify the initiatives about ventilation mechanical is presented.…”
