IntelliVent™ is available on the G5 and S1 generation ventilators from Hamilton Medical that continuously monitor usual mechanical ventilation parameters plus ETPCO2 and SpO2 [14].

In their bench study, Holland and colleagues [ 31] examined the effects of mechanical ventilation parameters on RH and AH, and the effect of a HH system on RH, AH, and ventilator performance during NIV.
To reduce or avoid this complication caused by an improper combination of mechanical ventilation parameters, we conducted the following trial of 3 factors with 3 levels of mechanical ventilation, aimed to obtain the low airway pressure with good ventilator effects.
In summary, a recent review suggests that mortality has not been reduced significantly in the past 15 years (1998 2013) [4] suggesting that using other physiologic parameters to adjust mechanical ventilator settings is necessary.
Parameters from the mechanical ventilator were measured and also vital signs (monitoring) from the animals.
All measured signals are transmitted directly to the panel PC including parameters from the mechanical ventilator, by which airway pressure and airway flow are converted by a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (KPCMCIA-12AI-C; Keithley Instruments Inc., Cleveland, OH, USA).
HFOV has until recently mostly been investigated as a rescue therapy for patients with ARDS who are failing conventional mechanical ventilation, because of difficulty in achieving either adequate ventilation or oxygenation within safe ventilator parameters.
The rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) is considered a good parameter to predict mechanical ventilator liberation.
Ventilation was performed by mechanical ventilator (6 ml/kg, 10 breaths/minute; Medumat Standard Weinmann, Hamburg, Germany).
