METHOD OF BREATHING FUNCTION REMOTE EXAMINATION AND DEVICE FOR ITS EMBODIMENT Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: remote examination of breathing function in electromagnetic field. SUBSTANCE: person being examined is placed in magnetic field space. Parameters of this field are measured by means of sensor matrix. Calibration procedure is performed with breathing delayed or in mode of quiet breathing. Tables of field parameter dependence from sensor matrix displacement are formed for every sensor. Volume of sensor, total volume of group of sensors and entire combination of sensors are calculated. In measuring mode, sensor matrix is installed in calibration space, and man's volume variation is recorded in process of examination in modes of vital lung capacity, forced vital lung capacity, minute volume of breathing, and maximum ventilation of lungs. EFFECT: recording of main spirometric indices of man's external breathing function, separate estimation of function of right- and left-hand lungs. 3 cl, 7 dwg
