[The transducer's calibration of medical ventilators and discussion on relative technical concerns].
Based on the structure and principle of transducers for medical ventilators, this paper analyzes the causes of transducers' failures, and introduces some corresponding calibration methods. Besides, some suggestions about how to reduce different kind of transducer failures are put forward.
