Monitoring Accuracy of Home Mechanical Ventilators: Key Technical Elements and Clinical Implications

  • Chapter
Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation

Abstract

The monitoring of home noninvasive ventilation by built-in software should accurately reflect the amount of gas entering into the patient’s airways. For this purpose, the native curves should be transformed through mathematical algorithms designed for and adapted to the configuration of different tubing, the expiratory system, and the physical phenomena that can occur in clinical practice.
