ABSTRACT
This paper demonstrates a system capable of capturing directional tidal breathing (inhale/exhale cycles) pattern for application in pulmonary disease diagnostics. The work particularly highlights intelligent usage of commercially available Analog Device's phase-gain IC and ultrasound to build such a system which otherwise requires many fold, more complex circuits/electronics to achieve similar sensitivity. This makes the system compact, affordable yet very sensitive so that it can be reliably used for tidal breathing analysis, a new trend that emerged recently as opposed to traditional Spirometric test (based on forced breathing) that is both tedious and painful for patients with pulmonary obstructions. This work may turn out quite useful in needy geographies as pulmonary ailments like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is rapidly becoming an epidemic and requires immediate attention.

Tidal breathing model describing end-tidal, alveolar, arterial and mixed venous CO2 and O2
Thermodilution is the current standard for determination of cardiac output. The method is invasive and constitutes a risk for the patient. As an alternative CO"2 rebreathing allows non-invasive cardiac output estimation using Ficks principle. The method ...
Simulation of pulmonary edema in mitral and aortic valvular disease
BioMed'06: Proceedings of the 24th IASTED international conference on Biomedical engineeringThis paper summerizes results of numerical solutions to pulsatile flow of pulmonary edema in mitral stenosis and aortic stenosis.Blood flow is analyzed by a computer simulation in a model of left ventricle and systemic arteries which is pathologically ...
White blood cell count and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A Mendelian Randomization study
AbstractBlood leukocyte counts (e.g., eosinophil count) are important biomarkers for the onset, classification, and exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The causal relationships between them are necessary for the ...
