Time-varying respiratory system elastance: a physiological model for patients who are spontaneously breathing.

Time-varying respiratory system elastance: a physiological model for patients who are spontaneously breathing.

BACKGROUND:Respiratory mechanics models can aid in optimising patient-specific mechanical ventilation (MV), but the applications are limited to fully sedated MV patients who have little or no spontaneously breathing efforts. This research presents a time-varying elastance (E(drs)) model that can be...
