Flow Proportional Pressure Support in Volunteers

March 19, 2009 updated by: University Hospital Freiburg

Flow Proportional Pressure Support as a New Mode of Spontaneous Breathing Assist - Evaluation of Objective and Subjective Measured Data in Volunteers

Flow proportional pressure support (FPPS) is a new mode of spontaneous breathing assistance. In patients with increased respiratory resistance the role of FPPS in comparison with the pressure support assist breathing mode is still unclear. In this study the investigators evaluate objective and subjective measured data in healthy volunteers with artificial increased resistance and FPPS breathing assistance.
