AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A simple ventilator is described where a spring-loaded bellows is filled from a compressed gas supply. The outflow from the bellows to the subjects is controlled by solenoid valves. The device is a minute volume divider and the durations of inspiration and expiration are set by timers that operate the solenoid valves. The valves are positioned near the subject to minimize dead space and gas compression effects. Precise valve timing ensures separation of inspirate and expirate. The ventilator is suitable for respiratory gas studies on animals and may be modified for human use if required.

Background: Heterotopic ossification is a common complication after joint replacement surgery, such as hip or knee arthroplasty. In the intensive care unit, it is most commonly associated with traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury. To prevent recurrence, surgical resection of heterotopic ossification is recommended once the ectopic bone has fully matured, which is estimated to occur after at least 12 months.
