[Monitoring tidal volumes when using the Ventrain® emergency ventilator].

CONCLUSION: The tested respiratory function monitor using hot-wire anemometer technology has the potential to monitor tidal volumes applied by the Ventrain®. With the software thus adapted, the RFM measures precise inspiratory and expiratory tidal volumes within common technical tolerance. This could help perform adequate patient ventilation with Ventrain® and reduce the potential risk of patient trauma. PMID: 27245923 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
