Abstract

Flow Analyzer allows measurement of flow, pressure, volume, and oxygen concentration delivered to the patient, with PEEP (Positive End Expiratory Pressure) being a crucial parameter in mechanical ventilation. Incorrect PEEP values can elevate the risk of patient mortality. The recommended PEEP range is 5-24 cmH2O, and administration is determined by the patient's clinical condition. This research aims to identify stable and highly accurate pressure sensors by comparing the MPX2010DP and MPX5010DP sensors with pressure readings from a Digital Pressure Meter (DPM). The study involves 5 repetitions of a lung test, each with 11 pressure reading points, within a pressure measurement range of 0-30 cmH2O. The DPM has a resolution of 1 cmH2O, while both pressure sensors have a resolution of 0.01 cmH2O. Results indicated that the MPX2010DP sensor has the smallest error percentage, specifically 0.00%, at a pressure increase of 5 cmH2O and 20 cmH2O. Conversely, the MPX2010DP sensor shows the largest error percentage, 5.16%, when the pressure decreases by 5 cmH2O. The highest standard deviation of 0.52 is observed in the MPX5010DP sensor at a 20 cmH2O pressure increase, while the maximum correction value of 0.54 is found in the MPX5010DP sensor at a 25 cmH2O pressure increase. According to the ANOVA test, there is no significant difference in pressure produced between the MPX2010DP sensor, MPX5010DP sensor, and DPM. The sensors are well-calibrated and provide accurate readings according to calibration tool standards. Therefore, the MPX2010DP and MPX5010DP sensors are deemed accurate for measuring PEEP parameters in ventilators. Based on the obtained data, it can be concluded that the MPX2010DP sensor is more accurate and stable.
