Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The lung compliance of a subject that is at least partially self-ventilating is determined. The quantification of lung compliance may be an estimation, a measurement, and/or an approximate measurement. The quantification of lung compliance may be enhanced over conventional techniques and/or systems for quantifying lung compliance of self-ventilating subjects in the lung compliance may be quantified relatively accurately without an effort belt or other external sensing device that directly measures diaphragmatic muscle pressure, and without requiring the subject to manually control diaphragmatic muscle pressure. Quantification of lung compliance may be a useful tool in evaluating the health of the subject, including detection of fluid retention associated with developing acute congestive heart failure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system configured to quantify lung compliance of a subject that is at least partially self-ventilating, the system comprising: a pressure support device configured to generate a pressurized flow of breathable gas to be delivered to the airway of the subject that is at least partially self-ventilating; one or more sensors configured to generate one or more output signals conveying information about one or more parameters of the pressurized flow of b…
