Abstract

The article presents a study which compares the function of a bilevel ventilator with the noninvasive-positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) modes to nine different intensive care unit (ICU) ventilators in the presence of leaks. It states that the ventilators were set at 12 cm water pressure support and 5 cm water positive end-expiratory pressure. Furthermore, it shows that only the Vision and Servo I ventilators require no adjustments as they adapted to increasing leaks.
