Abstract
In a method for assessing pulmonary stress, a flow of respiratory gas is supplied to the lungs of a subject, an ensuing pressure is measured in relation to time and the pressure-time relationship is analyzed. In this analysis, the profile of the pressure-time relationship is determined. In summary, the profile is straight when no stress is present, is convex when there is a risk for over-distension, and is concave when alveolar units are opened up. Implemented in a breathing apparatus the method can be used to assist an operator in diagnostic and therapeutic considerations in relation to a patient.
