Mathematical model of the biomechanics of respiration during artificial ventilation

Abstract

The authors review a mathematic model of the respiratory biomechanics during artificial lung ventilation, presenting a subsystem of the mathematic model of respiration designed at the All-Union Research Surgery Center of the USSR AMS and used in the medical information diagnostic system elaborated for the Department of Resuscitation and Intensive Care, provide differential equations of the mathematic model, the results of the numerical solution of the model and an example of using the model for solving a private problem of selecting an adequate mode of artificial lung ventilation.
