METHOD OF AIRWAYS COMPRESSIBILITY IDENTIFICATION

Abstract

The authors describe phenomological and mathematical models of airways compressibility. A detailed demonstration is given of deprivation and practical results of the identification of parameters and quantification of initial resistance (Ro), lung elasticity (E), airways collapsibility (Q) and alveolar elasticity (collapsibility) (O). A mathematical model completed in this way is important for interpreting more precisely resistance loops registered by Bodytest‐apparatus and, especially, for increasing their importance for the diagnosis of breathing disorders.
