Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or Female, aged 18 years or above.
- Mechanically ventilated Patients (on either VC, PC or CPAP modes).
- Able (in the Investigators opinion) and willing to comply with all study requirements.
- Considered clinically stable, with FiO2 less than 60% and PEEP no greater than 10 cm H2O
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant Women
- Patients who experienced myocardial infarction within the last 6 weeks.
- Shocked patients, Hemodynamic instability requiring vasopressors, cardiac arrhythmias, terminal malignancy.
- Any other significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the participants at risk because of participation in the study, or may influence the result of the study, or the participant's ability to participate in the study.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
EZVent
Subjects who are involved in the clinical trial are already mechanically ventilated on traditional standard commercial ventilator. Baseline measurements (T0) will be taken from each patient before being transferred to EZVent ventilator. The following measurements will be taken: Vital Signs and hemodynamics (heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, Respiratory rate), Chest X-ray, Arterial blood gases as well as the ventilator mode parameters (dependent on each mode) and lung mechanics parameters (Peak, Plateau, Mean Airway Pressure, Tidal Volume, Airway Resistance and Static Compliance). After taking the baseline measurements, subjects will be disconnected from their traditional standard ventilator and immediately connected to EZVent using the same previous original setting. After 60 & 120 minutes of ventilation on EZVent (T1&T2) respectively, the same measurement will be taken (Vital signs and Hemodynamics will be continuously monitored and recorded every five minutes).
