[Methodological approaches to studies of the functional state of lungs under conditions of intensive care]. / Metodicheskie podkhody k issledovaniiu funktsional'nogo sostoianiia legkikh v usloviiakh intensivnoi terapii.

Algorithms for automated processing of curves reflecting respiratory function of the lungs (pneumotachygram, psyrogram, transthoracic pressure) in grave patients were developed. A system of monitoring the parameters characterizing real time pulmonary ventilation, gas exchange, respiratory mechanics and aerodynamics was created. The described algorithms for calculating the curves of respiratory functions permit examination of pulmonary function during spontaneous respiration of a patient.

The authors review a mathematic model of the respiratory biomechanics during artificial lung ventilation, presenting a subsystem of the mathematic model of respiration designed at the All-Union Research Surgery Center of the USSR AMS and used in the medical information diagnostic system elaborated for the Department of Resuscitation and Intensive Care, provide differential equations of the mathematic model, the results of the numerical solution of the model and an example of using the model for solving a private problem of selecting an adequate mode of artificial lung ventilation.
