Abstract
A ventilator system () includes an integrated blower (). In one case, the ventilator system includes: an inspiration port () for connection to an inspiratory limb () of a dual-limb patient circuit (), and an expiration port () for connection to an expiratory limb () of the dual-limb patient circuit; a gas delivery device () connected to the inspiration port to supply a pressurized flow of gas to the inspiration port to generate a positive pressure; and a blower having an inlet () that is operatively connected to the expiration port and configured to be controlled to selectively supply a negative pressure level between 4 and 120 cmHO to the expiration port, and an outlet () to exhaust gas received from the expiration port. In another case, the ventilator system includes a blower to generate positive pressure/flow to augment flow for noninvasive ventilation.
