The Bird Avian Ventilator (BAV), presently used by the USAF Emergency Medical Services as a transport ventilator, has recently been accepted for use on cargo aircraft for USAF aeromedical evacuation. The overall objective was to evaluate the performance of the BAV in the hyperbaric environment. Specific objectives focused on the: 1. Structural integrity of the ventilator during and after exposure to increased atmospheric pressure. 2. Measurement of clinical variables for safe, acceptable limits (breath rate, tidal volume, flow rate, and proximal airway pressure).
