Resistive Load During CPAP and Automatic Tube Compensation (ATC): A Bench Comparison of ICU Ventilators
2026-07-13
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Automatic tube compensation (ATC) was designed to compensate for the additional resistive load imposed by the endotracheal tube during spontaneous breathing. In ATC mode, the ventilator adds or subtracts the flow-dependent pressure drop across the tube during both inspiration and expiration so that tracheal pressure remains close to PEEP. Early prototype ventilators achieved true tracheal-pres...
