| Title: | Inspiratory and expiratory flow from collapsible airbags | Authors: | Low, H.T. Chew, Y.T. Teo, J. |
Issue Date: | 1988 | Citation: | Low, H.T.,Chew, Y.T.,Teo, J. (1988). Inspiratory and expiratory flow from collapsible airbags. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Bioengineering Division (Publication) BED 8 : 131-133. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | The pressure-flow relationship in the respiratory system is investigated using a simple experimental model consisting of two collapsible airbags attached to a simulated trachea-bronchus model. The oscillatory pressure and flow during the simulated breathing cycle were determined. It was found that the expiratory flow exhibit characteristics similar to the lung-recoil phenomenon observed clinically. Another interesting feature is that the pressure and flow are almost 180° out of phase. The resistance to flow due to simulated bronchus-obstruction was also determined and related to the clinical measurement of airway resistance based on the body plethysmograph method. | Source Title: | American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Bioengineering Division (Publication) BED | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/58405 |
