Abstract:
We designed an adjustable simulated lung for clinical use. Depending on the feature of adjustable resistance and compliance, the device could simulate various pathological changes of lung, such as obstructive diseases and restrictive diseases. Thru simulating various pathological conditions with the device, the clinicians could learn how to manipulate a mechanical ventilator. In addition, the device has a leakage equipment for simulating leakage of respiratory circuit, depending on which the clinicians could learn more about ventilators.
