    Snippet: In a model study we assessed the distribution of tidal volumes in two respiratory systems when ventilated with one ventilator. We hypothesized that a) tidal volume distributes in proportion to the respiratory system compliance and that b) the respective tidal volume and compliance of a patient can be reliably measured via the ventilator if the other patient is disconnected from the respiratory circuit by pinching off the tracheal tube for a coupl.....
    Document: In a model study we assessed the distribution of tidal volumes in two respiratory systems when ventilated with one ventilator. We hypothesized that a) tidal volume distributes in proportion to the respiratory system compliance and that b) the respective tidal volume and compliance of a patient can be reliably measured via the ventilator if the other patient is disconnected from the respiratory circuit by pinching off the tracheal tube for a couple of breaths. In a physical model of two synchronously ventilated patients we investigated various combinations of respiratory system compliances representing a relevant spectrum of compliances during acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) resulting from SARS-Cov-2 infection [2] .
