METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TRAINING HUMAN RESPIRATORY SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine; medical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: method involves applying diaphragmatic respiration with resistance to expiration. Overpressure equal to the resistance is created at inspiration stage. Breathing is carried out in usual pace in alternating A-type cycles as atmospheric air inspiration-expiration and B-type cycles as exhaled gas inspiration-expiration. Time proportion of breathing with exhaled gas to atmospheric air respiration is initially set not greater than 1. The value is gradually increased and respiration depth is reduced as organism adaptation to inhaled oxygen takes place, by increasing the number of B-type cycles and reducing the number of A-type cycles. Device has reservoir attached to mouth with individually selected expiration resistance. The reservoir has features for supporting gas overpressure at inspiration stage equal to one at expiration stage.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; reduced volition effort required for training; improved operational functionality characteristics.
