Dear Anuraag,

We work closely with several groups who conduct translational studies of ventilator-induced lung injuries and protective ventilation strategies using mouse models.

For example, Dr.Suki and Dr.Szabari use the flexiVent to apply variable ventilation strategies that alternate between volume-controlled and pressure-controlled ventilation, dynamic PEEP control, and constantly vary ventilation parameters (RR,TV, deep inflations). I have listed some relevant publications in this field below:

- Szabari et al. - Long-Term Clinically Relevant Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury In Mice

- Pillow, Suki et al. - Variable ventilation improves ventilation and lung compliance in preterm lambs

Article Variable ventilation improves ventilation and lung complianc...

Please feel free to consult our website for additional information about the use of the flexiVent to study respiratory mechanics in various lung disease models

Hi David

We have developed a volume-controlled prototype platform for neonatal resuscitation and ventilation to mitigate volutrauma and BPD.

Please see www.kmmedical.co.nz for overview and comparative studies.

We are interested to license.
