Secretion Clearance

To improve the efficiency and safety of secretion clearance, a novel ventilator (SC ventilator) with an automatic secretion clearance function is proposed. To lay a foundation for the optimization of the SC ventilator, the basic mathematical model of the ventilation system is derived. By selecting the appropriate reference values, the basic mathematical model is transformed to a dimensionless expression for simulation. Through the experimental and simulation study on the SC ventilation system, it can be concluded that: firstly, the mathematical model is proved to be authentic and reliable. Secondly, the influences of the three key parameters on the dynamics of the SC ventilation system are carried out. Last, to guarantee the pressure in the lung is higher than the expiratory positive airway pressure, the dimensionless minimum pressure in the flexible tube should be set higher than 0.9164, the dimensionless suction pressure should be set higher than 0.79.

Secretion Clearance

Secretions of ventilated patients must be cleared efficiently and timely; to improve the secretion clearance efficiency of an insufflation-exsufflation device (IL-IE device) and lay a foundation for the optimization of the IL-IE device, a mathematical model of the ventilation system with the IL-IE device is set up. Through the experimental and simulation research on the ventilation system, it can be concluded that, firstly, the mathematical model is proved to be authentic and reliable. Secondly, with the deposition of secretion or an increase in the respiratory compliance, the peak exsufflation airflow may be reduced. Thirdly, with a decrease in the suction pressure, the peak exsufflation airflow of the ventilated lung may rise proportionally, but the minimum pressure in the ventilated lung may descend proportionally. To improve the efficiency of the secretion clearance but not to injure the ventilated patient, the suction pressure can be elevated properly. Last, increasing the inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) is a method to improve the secretion clearance efficiency. This research lays a foundation for improving the secretion clearance efficiency of the IL-IE device.

In recent studies on the dynamic characteristics of ventilation system, it was considered that human had only one lung, and the coupling effect of double lungs on the air flow can not be illustrated, which has been in regard to be vital to life support of patients. In this article, to illustrate coupling effect of double lungs on flow dynamics of mechanical ventilation system, a mathematical model of a mechanical ventilation system, which consists of double lungs and a bi-level positive airway pressure (BIPAP) controlled ventilator, was proposed. To verify the mathematical model, a prototype of BIPAP system with a double-lung simulators and a BIPAP ventilator was set up for experimental study. Lastly, the study on the influences of key parameters of BIPAP system on dynamic characteristics was carried out. The study can be referred to in the development of research on BIPAP ventilation treatment and real respiratory diagnostics.

The objectives of this research were to; develop a validated mathematical model of the premature neonatal lung. A description of the multi-compartmental, branched airway model of the neonatal lung is presented and shown to compare well with existing in-vivo data from the literature. The model described will be used in engineering practice to assess the design of conventional and emerging forms of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices in treating respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature neonates.
