?:definition
  • Respiration simulators designed to mimic the pulmonary mechanics of the lungs by taking in air and then expelling it. Typically, they can simulate the normal adult, pediatric, and/or infant breathing characteristics (e.g., breath rate, inspiratory and expiratory times, tidal volume). Most simulators can also simulate abnormal (e.g., diseased) conditions. These simulators typically consist of a mechanism that includes one or more chambers, elastomer bellows, and simulated airways. They may also include measuring instruments (e.g., volume, time, pressure) and capabilities to adjust compliance and airway resistance and/or to simulate leaks. Lung simulators are used to test the performance of mechanical ventilators, spirometers, and anesthesia devices and/or for training purposes. Some lung simulators can display and/or record the performance of devices being tested (e.g., ventilators) using computing capabilities.
