Abstract Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ventilation is a commonly prescribed respiratory Automatic location of relevant time slices and patterns in both signals and video-movies: real-time and off-line visualization therapy providing positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) to assist breathing and prevent airway collapse.Setting PEEP is highly debated and it is thus primarily titrated based on symptoms of excessive or insufficient support.However, titration periods are clinician intensive and can result in barotrauma or under-oxygenation during the process.
Developing model-based methods to more efficiently personalise CPAP therapy based on patient-specific response requires clinical data of lung/CPAP interactions.To this end, a trial was conducted to establish a dataset of healthy subjects Mindfulness or relaxation: What is more effective for work stress? Literature review lung/CPAP interaction.Pressure, flow, and tidal volume were recorded alongside secondary measures of dynamic chest and abdominal circumference, to better validate model outcomes and assess breathing modes, muscular recruitment, and effort.
N = 30 subjects (15 male; 15 female) were included.Self-reported asthmatics and smokers/vapers were included, offering a preliminary assessment of any potential differences in response to CPAP from lung stiffness changes in these scenarios.Additional demographics associated with lung function (sex, age, height, and weight) were also recorded.
