Development of a compact stand-alone esophageal pressure measurement device

Mechanical ventilation requires optimal parameter setting for every single patient. For instance sufficient positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may ensure oxygenation and prevent overdistension of lungs or alveolar collapse. To find optimal PEEP, transpulmonary pressure (airway pressure minus pl...
