    ObjectiveTo assess the pneumatic performance of two new anaesthesia ventilators.Study DesignTest bench study.MaterialADU (Datex), Excel 7900 (Ohmeda) ventilators both included in "bellows-in-box" class, with rising bellows at expiration.MethodsThe accuracy of spirometry and pressure measurements was tested in various conditions of downstream charge and ventilation. The bench comprized a passive lung model with adjustable compliance and resistances, and flow and pressure gauges.ResultsPneumatic performance and accuracy were good in normal as well as in severe ventilatory conditions. This is made possible by the compensation algorithm included in these machines, which automatically corrected the delivered volume for errors related to tubing and gas compressibility.ConclusionThese two new machines with pneumatic compensation overcome the main drawback seen with conventional "bellows-in-box" ventilators.
