Fourteen babies with a wide variety of pulmonary problems have been ventilated effectively and successfully with a Bird Mark VII ventilator combined with a Modified Mapleson "D" Circuit and Bennett Cascade Humidifier. No mortality can be attributed to the ventilator. Its simple circuitry is readily understood by all personnel. FIOO2 can be varied easily and predictably. In larger infants exhaled volume can be measured with a Wright Respirometer at the endotracheal tube.
