Resistance and Compliance

The EMMS invasive airway mechanics system can analyse a variety of parameters, ranging from respiratory rate and tidal volume to resistance and compliance. Primarily, the system measures airflow and trans-pulmonary pressure to derive airway resistance and lung compliance. Additionally, blood pressure and heart rate can be recorded to assist in monitoring the level of anaesthesia and to investigate any possible cardiovascular effects.

Compounds can be delivered to the subjects via nebulised aerosol or intravenously through the tail or jugular veins. Tail vein access is provided by the unique EMMS range of tail out plethysmographs.
