Abstract :
In the presented project, engineering and medical education is combined by the development of an active mechanical lung simulator for clinical training by medical engineering students. The active lung simulator should be capable of simulating various lung conditions during mechanical ventilation to provide medical students with a realistic training environment. The setup includes a cylinder-piston system representing respiratory mechanics, a control unit, measurement equipment and a mechanical ventilator. The project complements the skills of engineering students by applying learning contents and gaining additional knowledge in medicine. Simultaneously, it offers a training possibility for medical students to practice mechanical ventilation in a safe and controlled environment.
