Dear Dr. Mazin, the MV determine the exhaled tidal volume using flow sensors , we have MV machines with very old flow sensors giving VTe significantly less or more than VTi
I think this will affect the flow and volume loops by giving false leak if VTe < Vti
It may also mask a true leak or air trapping due to VTe > VTi
Am I right in this??
