Airflow and dynamic circumference of abdomen and thorax for adults at varied continuous positive airway pressure ventilation settings and breath rates.

ABSTRACT: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ventilation is a commonly prescribed respiratory therapy providing positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) to assist breathing and prevent airway collapse. Setting PEEP is highly debated and it is thus primarily titrated based on symptoms of excessive or insufficient support. However, titration periods are clinician intensive and can result in barotrauma or under-oxygenation during the process. Developing model-based methods to more efficiently personalise CPAP therapy based on patient-specific response requires clinical data of lung/CPAP interactions. To this end, a trial was conducted to establish a dataset of healthy subjects lung/CPAP interaction. Pressure, flow, and tidal volume were recorded alongside secondary measures of dynamic chest and
