Emulación de la fisiología respiratoria del pulmón empleando un sistema embebido.

Abstract

This project describes the respiratory physiology of the lung using an embedded system in order to make diagnoses in people and detect if they have or suffer from any respiratory insufficiency. To achieve this result, the complete functioning of the respiratory system of the human body was investigated to analyze which variables were best suited to the idea of ​​the project and based on that, generate the mathematical model that describes that functioning.

The process began by adapting the mathematical equations that best describe the flow of the respiratory system relating gas exchange, which is the basis of the system, to then carry out the discretization process of the equations in order to program them in development environments and programming languages ​​that were used and observe the results in the different simulated environments.

Finally, a user-friendly interface was proposed, made in LabVIEW, in order to manipulate variables depending on the environment or environment where you want to simulate that a person is, and observe the alveolar pressure output for both oxygen and carbon dioxide. carbon dioxide and in this way detect if this person has normal respiratory parameters or suffers from any respiratory insufficiency.
