Transcript
Mechanical ventilation is widely used in respiratory failure, partially or completely replacing spontaneous ventilation. Its management requires prior knowledge and expertise. However, some studies show that professionals feel insecure in its mana

We present an ex vivo pig lung model for the demonstration of pulmonary mechanics and alveolar recruitment maneuvers for teaching purposes. The lungs can be used for more than one day (up to five days) with minimal changes in pulmonary mechanics variables.
