    Author: FAIRLEY HB, HUNTER DD.
    Journal: Can Med Assoc J; 1964 Jun 20; 90(25):1397-406. PubMed ID: 14158546.
    Abstract:
    Mechanical ventilators may be required for the treatment of inadequate ventilation, intractable left heart failure and cerebral edema. Each situation requires different ventilator characteristics. The performance of the Blease P3, Engström, Mörch Piston, Bird Mark 7 and 8 and Bennett PR1 and PR2 respirators has been studied. The factors governing choice of respirator in specific clinical situations are described.
