Abstract
ABUNDES-VELASCO, Arturo et al. Evaluation of an automatized AMBU ESSI-1 INC designed at the Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2023, vol.93, n.4, pp.391-397. Epub Nov 28, 2023. ISSN 1665-1731. https://doi.org/10.24875/acm.2200004.
Objective:
The objectives of this study were to evaluate an automated device for ventilatory support based on AMBU manufactured in March 2020.
Methods:
The ESSI-1 INC was evaluated through pulmonary mechanics and physiology parameters through compensatory spirometer tests (TISSOTs), and an artificial lung Model5600i Dual Adult PNEU VIEW SYSTEM; it was also compared to the anesthetic ventilatory support equipment (AEONMED 7500) in porcine models, measuring ventilatory, hemodynamic and gasometric parameters.
Results:
This equipment (ESSI-1 INC) was successfully tested by mechanical and biological models, such as pigs in which its performance was evaluated in terms of variability of tidal volume, ventilation frequency, and I/E relationship versus the manual performance of two medical interns. All the results turned out as expected and were satisfactory.
Conclusions:
It is safe and effective equipment and should be tested and used in diverse clinical conditions to standardize the ventilatory safety and care of patients who require it.
