Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A ventilator device for co-ventilation of multiple patients may include an air tube splitter having an inlet, a plurality of outlets, and a plurality of branches each extending to a respective outlet, a plurality of valves coupled to the branches, a plurality of actuators coupled to the valves, and a controller in operable communication with the actuators. Each valve may be configured to be adjusted to regulate air flow through a respective branch. Each actuator may be configured to adjust a respective valve. The controller may be configured to receive a set of inspiratory pressure settings or tidal volume settings for the patients and independently control the actuators to adjust the valves based at least in part on the set of inspiratory pressure settings or tidal volume settings. The controller may employ time-multiplexing in controlling the actuators to adjust the valves for ventilating the patients at different times.
