The increasing burden of chronic respiratory disease to healthcare systems results in limited
capacity to effectively treat patients. People with respiratory diseases, especially when …

Abstract Models of lung elastance, airway resistance, and patient work of breathing have
been successfully applied to invasive mechanical ventilation data. Non-invasive mechanical …

Background The intrinsic (muscular) patient effort driving inspiration in non-invasive
ventilation modes, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, has not …

Schuessler, Thomas F., Stewart B. Gottfried, and Jason HT Bates. A model of the
spontaneously breathing patient: applications to intrinsic PEEP and work of breathing. J …

Background: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is known to decrease inspiratory
work of breathing in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This effect …

Study objectives To describe the importance of measuring work of breathing (WOB) in
patients with high airway resistance (Raw) during continuous positive airway pressure …

Background and objective In this study, we investigate the changes in diaphragmatic
kinetics, breathing pattern and work of breathing induced by 10 cmH2O of continuous …

Automatic continuous positive airway pressure (APAP) devices adjust the delivered
pressure based on the breathing patterns of the patient and, accordingly, they may be more …

Objective Evaluation of low-level PEEP (5 cm H 2 O) and the two different CPAP trigger
modes in the Bennett 7200a ventilator (demand-valve and flow-by trigger modes) on …

Method With a self-developed respiratory pump, sleep-related breathing patterns and, with
the help of a computerised valve, resistances of the upper respiratory tract were simulated …
