Abstract

The study deals with design and testing of a measuring and evaluating system suitable for high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV). The main features of the system are the real time monitoring of HFOV including precise evaluation of ventilatory parameters including tidal volume and minute ventilation, real time modeling of the respiratory system and its mechanical parameters and a model-based computing of alveolar pressure. The study also deals with a calibration and testing of the designed monitoring system.
