Background. Aim of the paper was to assess the performance of different expiratory valves and the resistance of helmet outlet ports at increasing gas flow rates. Methods. A gas flow-meter was connected to 10 different expiratory PEEP valves: 1 water-seal valve, 4 precalibrated fixed PEEP valves and 5 adjustable PEEP valves. Tree new valves of...

Objective: Assessing limits of agreement with helium dilution and repeatability of a new system (lung funcution, LUFU) that measures end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) in mechanically ventilated patients using the O2washin (EELVWin) and washout (EELVWout) technique. LUFU consists of an Evita 4 ventilator, a side-stream oxygen analyzer, and a...
