Abstract: Mechanical ventilation is a cornerstone in the management of severe respiratory failure. Almost all surgeries with general anesthesia require mechanical ventilation, which may trigger ventilator-induced lung injury through various mechanisms. Large tidal volume and high airway pressure may cause overextension of the alveoli, which will result in barotraumas and volutrauma. In this work, a volume-controlled ventilation system was proposed and we provide a comparison of two multi-compartment models of volume-controlled and pressure-controlled ventilation based on electrical and mathematical models. After that we present an analysis to determine whether pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) or volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) has demonstrated advantages over control ventilation. This study can be helpful in controlled ventilation treatment and respiratory diagnostics, and very important to testing and monitoring PCV and VCV signals trigged by devices.
