Chapter 6 – High Frequency Percussive Ventilator characterization<br />
1:1 and a percussive frequency from 300 to 900 cycles per minute with work pressure of 20<br />
cm H 2 O and free expiratory flow. The selected cut-off frequency of the on-board low-pass<br />
Butterworth filter was of 500 Hz. Fig. 6.4 shows the acquired pressure and flow curves<br />
together with the estimated volume during a respiration cycle.<br />
