Zusammenfassung:Portable ventilators (PVs) are used for patient transport with increasingly frequency. Due to design differences it would not be unexpected to find differences among these ventilators in the imposed work of breathing (WOB I) during spontaneous respiratory efforts. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the WOBI characteristics during spontaneous breathing of seven PVs; Bird Avian, Bio-Med Crossvent 4, Pulmonetics LTV 1000, Hamilton Max, Drägerwerk Oxylog 2000, Impact Uni-Vent 750, and Impact Uni-Vent 754 using a model of spontaneous breathing. Differences between the PVs in regards to the measured parameters increased with increases in simulated breathing demand. WOB I, peak inspiratory pressure, and pressure-time product were consistently less with the LTV 1000 over the range of simulated breathing conditions. During pressure support ventilation these parameters were significantly less with the LTV 1000 compared with the Crossvent 4. Only the WOB I produced by the LTV was consistently lower than the physiologic work of breathing across the simulated spontaneous breathing conditions. Based on these results it is predicted PVs with flow triggering and positive end-expiratory pressure compensation will consistently offer the least WOB I. Clinicians should be aware of these characteristics when using PVs with spontaneous breathing patients. Os Ventiladores Portáteis (VP) são cada vez mais usados para o transporte de doentes. Sendo aparelhos com desenhos diferentes, não seria inesperado encontrar diferenças entre esses ventiladores relativamente ao Trabalho Respiratório Imposto (TRI) durante os esforços de ventilação espontânea. O objectivo deste investigação foi comparar as caracterı́sticas do TRI durante a ventilação espontânea em sete Ventiladores Portáteis; Bird Avian, Bio-Med Crossvent 4, Pulmonetics TLV 1000; Hamilton Max, Dragerwerk Oxylog 2000, Impact Uni-Vent 750 e Impact Uni-Vent 754 usando um modelo de ventilação espontânea. As diferenças entre os VP relativamente aos parâmetros medidos são maiores à medida que as solicitações ventilatórias simuladas são maiores. O TRI, a Pressão Inspiratória de Pico e o Produto Pressão-Tempo de Pico foram consistentemente menores com o LTV 1000 na faixa de condições respiratórias simuladas. Em pressão assistida aqueles parametros foram significativamente menores com o LTV100 em confronto com o Crossvent 4. Só com o LTV é que o TRI foi consistentemente inferior ao trabalho respiratório fisiológico em condi
