Integration principles of the electrical impedance tomography module with a lung ventilator

Abstract

Abstract The article deals with the work organization of electrical impedance tomography module and lung ventilation module, interacting with each other as part of a single complex. The interaction consists in the transfer of data characterizing the function and condition of the lungs to the ventilator module. Two configurations of the complex for monitoring and lung ventilation based on electrical impedance tomography are considered: in the case of the integration of the electrical impedance tomography module and in the case of its use as an addon. The algorithm and principles of interaction of lung ventilation module and electrical impedance tomography module are presented.
