Model-Based Estimation of Respiratory Parameters from Capnography, with Application to Diagnosing Obstructive Lung Disease
Capnography is the noninvasive and effort-independent measurement of carbon dioxide concentration in exhaled breath, as a function of time or exhaled volume. Time-based capnography – the focus of this paper – is widely used in ambulances and hospitals. However, its quantitative...
