  • Method and apparatus for determining alveolar opening and closing
    Patent number: 7122010
    Abstract: The invention refers to a method for the regional determination of the alveolar opening and alveolar closing of the lung depending on the respiration pressure, wherein according to the method of electrical impedance tomography, an impedance signal is measured in at least one lung zone depending on the respiration pressure. The alveolar opening or closing of a lung zone is determined, in particular to enable an improved artificial respiration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 1, 2003
    Date of Patent: October 17, 2006
