A STATION FOR THE RESPIRATORY MECHANICS MEASUREMENT BY OCCLUSION TECHNIQUES

Journal Title: Metrology and Measurement Systems - Year 2007, Vol 14, Issue 2

Abstract

In the paper, the stage for the evaluation of the respiratory mechanics by occlusion techniques is described. It consists of the hardware-software module of post-interrupter data acquisition, numerical procedures of the collected signal analysis and computational models, enabling a quantitative/qualitative verification of the relations between the lung structure, pathology and measurement results. Flexibility of the designed set-up guarantees the possibility to test the classical versions of the interrupter technique, its modi.ed author's variant - enhanced interrupter technique and also the future developmental work in the appointed research area.
