| Popis: | A compartmental lung model with any number of synchronously filling and emptying functional chambers and a common dead space or conducting region is considered. It is shown that the model gives rise to an output, in an open circuit washout determination, which is a weighted sum of exponentials. From estimates of these weights and exponential components, estimates of the model parameters can be recovered. Relations giving the unique correspondence between the output parameters and the model parameters are derived and the existence and uniqueness of solutions established. |
