In this paper, a number of reported systems for classifying ventilators are considered and their usefulness commented on. Most omit the concept of power, which is an important factor in how the ventilator will perform. It is recommended that a system of classification should be backed by bench tests and clinical trials. Not enough is known about high frequency ventilation to permit reasonable evaluation of the classifications proposed in this area.
本文对一些已报道的呼吸机分类系统进行了考量，并对其效用进行了评论。大多数系统都忽略了功率这一概念，而功率是影响呼吸机性能的一个重要因素。建议分类系统应以实验台测试和临床试验为依据。对于高频通气，目前了解不足，无法对该领域提出的分类进行合理评估。
