Development of a new non-invasive ventilation system

The thesis describes the design and development of a new mode of non-invasive medical ventilation known as Proportional Assist Ventilation (PAV). This mode of mechanical ventilation is designed to assist patients who can breathe spontaneously to some extent but unable to wean, therefore requiring th...
