The goal of this paper is to model and analyze the properties of the respiratory system by
means of fractional calculus. A linear fractional order system of commensurate order is …

Introduction As pulmonary dysfunctions are prospective factors for developing cancer, efforts
are needed to solve the limitations regarding applications in lung cancer. Fractional order …

This paper proposes a mathematical framework for understanding how the structural
changes in the COPD lung reflect in model parameters. The core of the analysis is a …

Mechanical ventilators facilitate breathing for patients who cannot breathe (sufficiently) on
their own. The aim of this paper is to estimate relevant lung parameters and the …

Forced oscillation technique (FOT) emerged as a non-invasive, computationally efficient, fast
and reliable method used in clinical practice for lung evaluation by means of fractional order …

The forced oscillation technique (FOT) measures the respiratory impedance in a
noninvasive way to obtain the mechanical properties of a respiratory system. The respiratory …

In invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), it is critical that the flow value is estimated correctly,
as it is used as a trigger variable for ventilatory assistance. Furthermore, the numerical …

This paper introduces the use of low frequencies forced oscillation technique (FOT) in the
presence of breathing signal. The hypothesis tested is to evaluate the sensitivity of FOT to …

The paper addresses the development and performance-analysis of a lung function device
for non-invasive forced oscillatory technique (FOT). The applied identification methodology …
