Abstract
We observed real heterogeneity of performance amongst the latest generation of intensive care unit ventilators. Although non-invasive ventilation algorithms appear to maintain adequate pressurization efficiently in the case of leakage, basic functions, such as delivered Vt in ACV and pressurization in PSV, are often less reliable than the values displayed by the device suggest.
