This app is designed to implement the taxonomy (classification system) for modes of mechanical ventilation described by Chatburn et al (Respir Care 2014;59(11):1747-1763).

It has photographs, model names, and manufacturer names for over 35 ventilators. In this app almost 300 modes of ventilation are named and classified as described in the recent textbook: Respiratory Care Equipment by Volsko et al (Jones and Bartlett Learning, 2016).
