Abstract Tracking of a desired pressure profile is key in mechanical ventilation to sufficiently support a patient. The aim of this paper is to improve pressure tracking performance of mechanical ventilation systems. This is achieved by explicitly taking into account the nonlinear hose characteristics and delays in the control strategy. Through an experimental case study it is shown that this can significantly improve tracking performance.

使用估计的非线性软管模型和延迟补偿来支持机械通气患者的准确压力跟踪

摘要 跟踪所需的压力曲线是机械通气充分支持患者的关键。本文的目的是提高机械通风系统的压力跟踪性能。这是通过在控制策略中明确考虑非线性软管特性和延迟来实现的。通过实验案例研究表明，这可以显着提高跟踪性能。
