We investigated clinically the differences in respiratory work of patients imposed by three modes of one ventilator: the flow-by system, the demand valve system, and the pressure support system. Inspiratory work using flow-by and pressure support systems was reduced sufficiently when compared to the demand valve system. Moreover, fluctuation of the airway pressure was minimal with the flow-by mode. These results suggest that the flow-by mode is beneficial to patients breathing spontaneously with continuous positive airway pressure.

D011175 Positive-Pressure Respiration A method of mechanical ventilation in which pressure is maintained to increase the volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end of expiration, thus reducing the shunting of blood through the lungs and improving gas exchange.

D000403 Airway Resistance Physiologically, the opposition to flow of air caused by the forces of friction. As a part of pulmonary function testing, it is the ratio of driving pressure to the rate of air flow. Airway Resistances,Resistance, Airway,Resistances, Airway
D014939 Work of Breathing RESPIRATORY MUSCLE contraction during INHALATION. The work is accomplished in three phases: LUNG COMPLIANCE work, that required to expand the LUNGS against its elastic forces; tissue resistance work, that required to overcome the viscosity of the lung and chest wall structures; and AIRWAY RESISTANCE work, that required to overcome airway resistance during the movement of air into the lungs. Work of breathing does not refer to expiration, which is entirely a passive process caused by elastic recoil of the lung and chest cage.
