It is designed for people or patients with respiratory insufficiencies, which must be continuously assisted It should be noted that anyone who requires it can use it anywhere they want,
Below is the equation for the resistance of a fluid flow system:
∆P/Ǭ=(q-W)/VǬ-ρ δv/Ā-(μA_⟘ dv_⟘)/ĀǬ-(ρA_h gδh)/ĀǬ
Where Ǭ is the total volumetric flow in the system; ∆P is the pressure difference across the system; V is the volume of the system; Ā is the area perpendicular to the flow;
