Abstract
In this paper, a number of reported systems for classifying ventilators are considered and their usefulness commented on. Most omit the concept of power, which is an important factor in how the ventilator will perform. It is recommended that a system of classification should be backed by bench tests and clinical trials. Not enough is known about high frequency ventilation to permit reasonable evaluation of the classifications proposed in this area.
