Abstract
Mechanical ventilator failures expose patients to unacceptable risks, and maintaining mechanical ventilator safety is
an important issue. We examined the usefulness of maintaining mechanical ventilators by clinical engineers (CEs)
using a specialized calibrator. These evaluations and the ability to make in-house repairs proved useful for obviating
the need to rent ventilators which, in turn, might prove faulty themselves. The CEs' involvement in maintaining
mechanical ventilators is desirable, ensures prompt service, and, most importantly, enhances safe management
of mechanical ventilators.
