Development of new strategies of ventilation (variable tidal volume ventilation)
Control system design for variable ventilation modes Measurement and advanced analysis of respiratory signals (whole body plethysmography and Fleisch pneumotachography) Advanced analysis of haemodynamics (ECG and continuous blood pressure) Analysis of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) Medical image analysis; Computer Tompography (CT), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT))
nVentInspira nVentInspira is open-source software (LabVIEW script) developed to perform variable controlled tidal volume ventilation using the Harvard Inspira ASVp small animal ventilator. This controller enables compliance compensation and variation of tidal volume during volume controlled ventilation. nVentInspira is available for the interested research community.
A detailed description of the controller implemented in nVentInspira and its performance can be found here:
