FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to medicine. A lung compliance is measured in an individual who is at least partially self-ventilating. The quantitative measurement of the lung compliance can represent an assessment, a measurement and/or a rough measurement. The quantitative measurement of the lung compliance can be suspended over common methods and/or systems for the quantitative measurement of the self-ventilating individual's lung compliance; the lung compliance can be quantitatively measured relatively exactly without the use of a force measurement rope or any other external sensing device, which measures a diaphragm muscle pressure directly; the procedure does not require the individual to monitor the diaphragm muscle pressure manually.
EFFECT: quantitative measurement of the lung compliance can be used as an efficient instrument for the individual's health assessment, including detecting fluid retention associated with acute congestive cardiac failure.
