Monitoring of noninvasive ventilation by built-in software of home bilevel ventilators: a bench study

Published inChest, vol. 141, no. 2, p. 469-476
Publication date2012
Abstract

Current bilevel positive-pressure ventilators for home noninvasive ventilation (NIV) provide physicians with software that records items important for patient monitoring, such as compliance, tidal volume (Vt), and leaks. However, to our knowledge, the validity of this information has not yet been independently assessed.
