Design and personification of the mathematical model of the human respiratory system

Design of a mathematical model of the respiratory system and its personification is described in this study. The aim of authors is to develop a model of the respiratory system that will respect anatomical structure of the bronchial tree including its asymmetry. Inclusion of airway asymmetry into the model allows more authentic description of the respiratory system. The model is designed using electro-acoustic analogy. The model has asymmetrical bronchial tree and five lobes with different compliance of alveoli. CT scans are used to personify the model according to the patient´s respiratory system. Respiratory diseases change respiratory mechanics and affect the efficiency of artificial lung ventilation. The novel model is designed to study the efficiency of artificial lung ventilation for individual changes of the respiratory mechanics at each patient.
