[Computer analysis of mechanics of breathing by semi-on-line technique (author's transl)]

A program for the analysis of lung mechanics based on esophageal technique and running on mini-computer Cellatron 8205 is described. There are two varieties of analog-digital-conversion of primary flow- and pressure-signals from magnet tape storage to punch tape input channel using transposition of frequency either with sequential or alternating data collection oriented on respiratory half-cycles and unlimited in view of function test time. The program gives a complete status of lung mechanical parameters per respiratory half-cycle and total-cycle, that is pulmonary compliance, elastance, maximal resistance, minimal resistance, peak flow resistance, initial and terminal standard flow resistance, total, static and dynamic work of breathing, power of breathing. Output is provided both in writing and punching results to establish the connection with sequential high-level programs of lung mechanics and statistical data processing.
