Use of a single ventilator to support 4 patients: laboratory evaluation of a limited concept.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The 2005 American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society guidelines on spirometry emphasize examination of the inspiratory curve of the flow-volume loop for evidence of intrathoracic or extrathoracic upper airway obstruction. We sought to determine how frequently evaluations are performed for abnormal...
