[Implementation of modern trends in the methods of the ventilation support in the new apparatus for artificial lung ventilation Avenir-221 P].

In the new ventilator Avenir-221 P modern lines of development of ventilation support in intensive therapy of adults and children are implemented. The capacities of the ventilator are successfully combined with its technical decisions which include microprocessor parametrical controlling, programming-controlled electric drive, an information saturation, intuitively clear control system, protection against interruption of power supply sources and oxygen feeding falls. A set of functional characteristics (modes VCV, PCV, Ass/Contr, PSV, SIMV, PEEP, Sigh, etc.

[Graphical monitoring of the artificial lung ventilation. Part 1. Graphs of gas pressure and flow rate during respiration cycle. Capnogram].

Graphical monitoring of the state of the system patient-apparatus for artificial lung ventilation (MLV) provides instant and illustrative information about the state of the system, which is particularly important under conditions of resuscitation and intensive care. Graphs of time dependence of gas pressure in respiratory pathways, gas flow rate, and changes of lung volume during respiration cycle provide on-line information about ventilation mode and patient state including lungs, respiratory pathways, positive pressure at the end of exhalation, etc. These curves allow MLV efficacy to be monitored and improved.

[Development of anesthetic and ventilation equipment at the ZAO "VNIIMP-VITA"].

The main stages of development of anesthetic and ventilation equipment at VNIIMP-VITA, Ltd., the leading organization in this area of biomedical engineering in Russia, are discussed. Results of collaboration with physicians, researchers, and manufacturers of anesthetic and ventilation equipment are considered.

[Measurement of actual respiratory volume delivered by apparatuses for mechanical ventilation of the lungs].

According to the Standards IEC 60601-2-12:2001, and ISO 10651-1:1993, the delivered respiratory volume is measured on the basis of isothermal compliance value of a lung model. Meanwhile, actual compression/decompression into lung model is not isothermal but polytropic during calibration. Therefore, in medical practice standard calibration overestimates the respiratory volume of ventilated lungs.

[Analysis and realization of new methods of testing the artificial ventilation of lungs (AVL) equipment].

The requirements applicable to the canal of the artificial ventilation of the lungs (AVL), volume measuring and to methods of appropriate monitoring based on GOST R ISO 10651.1-99 "Medical equipment of artificial ventilation of the lungs. Part 1.

[An analysis of the prospects for elaboration and production of narcosis and respiratory equipment].

The narcosis-and-respiratory equipment (NRE) is one of the most important categories of equipment in health care. The article contains analytical data on the structure of NRE and sales statistics; a classification of the methods of ventilation support is presented, the appearance of NRE types, developed by ZAO "VNIIMP-VITA" and serially manufactured, is described.
