Pulsed Dose Oxygen Delivery During Mechanical Ventilation: Impact on Oxygenation.
Conclusions: The ventilator/concentrator system was able to manage oxygenation of severely injured lungs in a porcine model by injecting oxygen boluses at the front end of the ventilator breath, and appropriate use of PEEP to maximize oxygen delivery at the alveolar level. This proof of concept ventilator system may prove to be of use in situations where high-pressure oxygen is unavailable but electricity is accessible.
