PaedDeadSpace
Pediatric Ventilation & Dead Space Simulator
PaedDeadSpace is a free, open-source tool exploring the impact of apparatus dead space on pediatric ventilation. Unlike conventional calculators, it distinguishes patient from equipment dead space and enables interactive physiological simulations. With transparent, reproducible calculations, offline functionality, and no data collection, it supports medical education and research. Developed by a pediatric anesthesiologist, it is not intended for clinical decision-making.
Hi Product Hunt community! 👋
I'm a pediatric anesthesiologist and intensive care physician, and I developed **PaedDeadSpace** to make an often-overlooked aspect of pediatric mechanical ventilation easier to explore: the impact of apparatus dead space on effective alveolar ventilation.
PaedDeadSpace is **free, open source, and designed for medical education and research**. It provides interactive physiological simulations with transparent, reproducible calculations.
The project is still evolving and has not undergone clinical validation, so it is not intended for clinical decision-making.
My goal is to make respiratory physiology more accessible while creating an open platform that clinicians, researchers, and developers can independently verify and improve.
I'd love your feedback!
**What features or improvements would make PaedDeadSpace more useful for education or research?**
Thanks for checking it out! 🚀

Who hunted PaedDeadSpace?
PaedDeadSpace was hunted by Paolo Taffache. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
