Engineering Evaluation of the Helix Ventilator
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Respiratory Disease, Pulmonary Disease, Pediatric ALL
In brief
This study will be used to evaluate and observe the overall performance and controls of the Helix ventilator. Pressure and flow data between participants' current devices and the Helix ventilator will be assessed in either invasive or non-invasive ventilation. To evaluate ventilator performance, pressure and waveform data will be assessed as well. Also, patient and caregiver feedback will be captured. The target population is infants to adults weighing more than 5kg. Participants will be recruited by Boston Children's Health Physician's Group. Up to thirty participants will be enrolled in the study.
