JamVent emergency ventilator

Dr Joseph Sherwood and Dr Jakob Mathiszig-Lee demonstrate JamVent in PRVC mode, and the rapid response to a change in User Inputs. The mock lung has a resistance of 20 cmH2O/(l/s) and compliance of 30 ml/cmH2O.

Dr Mathiszig-Lee demonstrates JamVent in suction mode. A suction of 30 l/min is applied next to the entry to the mock lung. The system maintains pressure in the range 5-6 cmH2O for significantly longer than the 3 seconds required by the test in the MHRA guidelines.

Dr Mathiszig-Lee and Dr Sherwood demonstrate JamVent in spontaneous mode, where the system senses breath from the patient and provides a supported breath. When no breath occurs for 20 seconds, PRVC mode restarts automatically.
