SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MULTI-FREQUENCY OSCILLATORY VENTILATION

摘要

The present invention relates to systems and methods for multi-frequency oscillatory ventilation (MFOV). The system uses a broadband flow waveform more suitable for the heterogeneous mechanics of the lung. The system provides more efficient gas exchange and enhanced lung recruitment at lower airway pressures.
