<p>An apparatus and method for measuring variables associated with the ventilation of infants during assisted ventilation. The infant is placed in a plethysmograph (10) and various sensor means (33-36, 40, 50) are used to measure flow of gas into and out of the plethysmograph (10) and infant respiration. The outputs of the sensor means (33-36, 40, 50) are supplied to a minicomputer system (130) for processing. From this data, ventilator breaths are discriminated from infant breaths.</p> |
