As design-fire size has increased, engineers are now increasingly specifying powered emergency smoke and heat control ventilators capable of handling hot gas at up to 400 °C.
Rats were anesthetized and ventilated via a tracheal cannulation and ventilated via a pressure controlled ventilator with 1% isoflurane at a peak inspiratory pressure of 15 cm H2O and a respiratory rate of 60 breaths/min.
The animals were mechanically ventilated with a pressure controlled ventilator (Modulus SE 7900; Datex-Ohmeda Inc., USA) with a tidal volume of 12 ml/kg, PEEP of 6 cm H2O, and rate of 12 breaths/min.
The trachea was intubated and the lungs were mechanically ventilated using a pressure controlled ventilator, with peak inspiratory pressure between 15 and 17 cm H2O and a respiratory rate between 60 and 70 breaths per minute and no additional PEEP, to a target partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) near 40 mmHg (Kent Scientific Corp., Torrington, CT 06790).
Male Sprague Dawley rats were anaesthetised with isoflurane, fentanyl and pancuronium, tracheotomised and ventilated with a volume controlled ventilator.
The animals were ventilated with a volume controlled ventilator with 5 cm of H2O end-expiratory pressure.
In Epoch II, 9 neonates, 1 local (survived) and 8 remote (3 died) transfers, received ventilation through a pressure controlled ventilator integrated in transport incubator.
The animals were tracheostomized and their lungs were mechanically ventilated with oxygen using volume controlled ventilator ACE3000 (Acoma medical industry, Tokyo, Japan).
The Draeger Evita V500 is a microprocessor controlled ventilator offering both mandatory and spontaneous ventilation modes for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients.
All patients were ventilated with a time cycled, pressure controlled ventilator (Babylog 8000, Dräger, Lübeck, Germany).
