Table 1 The combined and the individual pressure and volume characteristics of lung simulators
From: Simultaneous ventilation of two simulated ARDS patients in COVID-19 pandemic
Combined | Test lung 1 (compliance of 37 ml/cmH2O) | Test lung 2 (compliance of 24 ml/cmH2O) | |
|---|---|---|---|
Volume control (TV = 1000 ml) | |||
Tidal volume (ml) | 1000 | 473 | 314 |
Positive end-expiratory pressure (cmH2O) | 8 | 8 | 8 |
Peak pressure (cmH2O) | 30 | 31 | 31 |
Pressure control (PC = 20 cmH2O above PEEP) | |||
Tidal volume (ml) | 1012 | 475 | 333 |
Positive end-expiratory pressure (cmH2O) | 8 | 8 | 8 |
