An advanced lung-ventilator system (ALVS) properly designed for the optimization of conventional dual-controlled ventilation (DCV) and of new airways pressure waveforms with more physiological shape has been tested on simulators of respiratory system in order to evaluate its clinical application. A compensation procedure making the chosen airways pressure waveform independent of patient airways resistance and lung compliance variations along with a complete real-time monitoring of respiratory system parameters are the innovative functional features implemented. The preliminary experimental results show that ALVS performance is useful for the research activity concerning with the improvement of both diagnostic evaluation and therapeutic outcome relative to mechanical ventilation treatments.

Abstract
An advanced lung-ventilator system (ALVS) properly designed for the optimization of conventional dual-controlled ventilation (DCV) and of new airways pressure waveforms with more physiological shape has been tested on simulators of respiratory system in order to evaluate its clinical application. A compensation procedure making the chosen airways pressure waveform independent of patient airways resistance and lung compliance variations along with a complete real-time monitoring of respiratory system parameters are the innovative functional features implemented. The preliminary experimental results show that ALVS performance is useful for the research activity concerning with the improvement of both diagnostic evaluation and therapeutic outcome relative to mechanical ventilation treatments.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
