Malignant tumors have become one of the serious public health problems in human safety
and health, among which the chest and abdomen diseases account for the largest …

Background and objective Recruitment maneuvers (RMs) with subsequent positive-end-
expiratory-pressure (PEEP) have proven effective in recruiting lung volume and preventing …

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a core treatment for patients suffering from respiratory
disease and failure. However, MV settings are not standardized due to significant inter-and …

Background and objective Respiratory mechanics estimation can be used to guide
mechanical ventilation (MV) but is severely compromised when asynchronous breathing …

Monitoring of respiratory mechanics is required for guiding patient-specific mechanical
ventilation settings in critical care. Many models of respiratory mechanics perform poorly in …

Mechanical ventilation (MV) therapy partially or fully replaces the work of breathing in
patients with respiratory failure. Respiratory mechanics during pressure controlled (PC) or …

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is the primary support for respiratory failure patients. MV
treatment is difficult to manage due to the variable patient-specific disease state and …

Objective: The quantification of inspiratory patient effort in assisted mechanical ventilation is
essential for the adjustment of ventilatory assistance and for assessing patient-ventilator …

Background and objective Respiratory mechanics of mechanically ventilated patients evolve
significantly with time, disease state and mechanical ventilation (MV) treatment. Existing …

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 …
