Design of a Continuous Positive Bi-Pressure System BPAP as Respiratory Support – Part II

摘要

In this document, the second part of the development of a continuous positive bi-pressure system as a respiratory support for patients with respiratory disorders while they sleep, such as sleep apnea-hypopnea, will be discussed. The focus is on the control strategy used and it corresponds to a gain-scheduling PID control by means of empirical modeling. The objective was to design a low cost equipment that could adjust to the requirements of a device for the treatment of Obstructive Apnea Syndrome. Although the final prototype has not been finished, it is considered that the imposed objective has been achieved.
