Abstract

The incorporation of microprocessors into the design of ventilators has produced a confounding array of products, each with its own peculiar features and modes of operation. This confusion has been compounded in the medical literature with unproved statements favoring one new device or mode of ventilation over another. We believe that physicians concerned with the ventilatory management of patients with respiratory failure must base their approach on physiologic principles and an understanding of patient-ventilator interactions [1].
