NON-INVASIVE ASSESSMENT OF INTRAPLEURAL PRESSURE AND/OR CALCULATION OF RESPIRATORY WORK BASED ON NON-INVASIVE ASSESSMENT OF INTRAPLEURAL PRESSURE
NON-INVASIVE ASSESSMENT OF INTRAPLEURAL PRESSURE AND/OR CALCULATION OF RESPIRATORY WORK BASED ON NON-INVASIVE ASSESSMENT OF INTRAPLEURAL PRESSURE
A method includes obtaining a first physiological parameter indicative of a non-invasively measured airway pressure of a subject, obtaining a second physiological parameter indicative of a non-invasively measured air flow into the lungs of the subject, and estimating a third physiological parameter indicative of an intra-pleural pressure of the subject based on the first and second physiological parameters and generating a signal indicative thereof. An other method includes obtaining a first physiological parameter indicative of a non-invasively estimated intra-pleural pressure of a subject, determining a second physiological parameter indicative of a lung volume of the subject that is based on a third physiological parameter indicative of a non-invasively measured air flow into the lungs of the subject, and determining a work of breathing based on the first and second physiological parameters and generating a signal indicative thereof.
