Real-time Effort Driven VENTilator Management

Computerized Decision Support System which recommends changes to ventilator settings to promote physiologic levels of patient effort of breathing.

Esophageal Manometry Catheter to measure effort of breathing an transpulmonary pressure

RIP bands to measure thoraco-abdominal synchrony during spontaneous breathing trials

Daily measurement of diaphragm thickness and diaphragm contractile activity

Prior to Spontaneous breathing trials, measurement of airway and esophageal maximal inspiratory pressure during airway occlusion
