N2 - We describe the development of an integrated cardiovascular and pulmonary model for use in the investigation of novel mechanical ventilation strategies in the intensive care unit. The cardiac model includes the cardiac chambers, the pulmonary circulation and the systemic circulation. The modeling of complex mechanisms for vascular segments, time varying elastance functions of cardiovascular components and the effect of vascular resistances, in health and disease under the influence of mechanical ventilation is investigated. The resulting biomedical simulator can aid in understanding the underlying pathophysiology of critically-ill patients and facilitate the development of more effective therapeutic strategies for evaluation in clinical trials.
