1. Introduction
The SLE2000 is a constant flow, time cycle, and pressure limited neonatal ventilator
with patient triggering.
Main features are that it has no expiratory valve but uses a reverse flow of mixed gas
that is injected from the exhaust manifold into the expiratory limb of the patient circuit.
This flow of gas has the effect of compressing 5 LPM humidified gas into the patient
ET tube.
The advantage of this system is that there is no expiratory resistance due to valves or
diaphragms, therefore no inadvertent PEEP is generated.
