Abstract
Three modes of ventilation during the transport of 30 ventilator-dependent patients were compared using blood gas variables. Ten were ventilated with a manually operated, ventilation bag (group C) and ten with a tidal volume meter at the exhalation valve of the ventilation bag (group V). Another ten patients (group O) were ventilated with a portable ventilator set to the minute volume (Ve) given in ICU. Ve was measured by volumetry as described above. Blood gases were analyzed in the ICU before and at the end of transport. In group C, significant decreases occurred in arterial (p
