This study presents an algorithm to accurately detect breaths during mechanical ventilation. It reliably identifies breaths across various ventilation modes using airway flow, pressure, and CO2 data.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Respiratory Physiology
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Mechanical ventilation is crucial for respiratory support.
  • Accurate breath detection is essential for monitoring patient status and ventilator performance.
  • Existing methods may struggle with diverse ventilation modes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and describe a novel algorithm for automated breath detection and delineation.
  • To ensure the algorithm's robustness across common mechanical ventilation modes.
  • To utilize multiple physiological signals for enhanced accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • The algorithm uses the airway flow curve as the primary indicator for breath delineation.
  • Airway pressure and end-tidal CO2 (carbon dioxide) concentration curves are employed for confirmation.
