Consideration about expression of the consequent part function for estimation of pulmonary elastance by the functional type SIRMs fuzzy reasoning method

Abstract

Pulmonary characteristics differ in patients, and the suitable setting of ventilation condition is needed for every patient in the artificial respiration. The static P-V curve is one of the important features of lung, and it is a basis for deciding the air-way pressure limit value. In this study, an estimation method for pulmonary elastance is proposed based on fuzzy logic. The expression of the consequent part function in fuzzy rule is investigated, and the effectiveness of our modified expression of the consequent part function is illustrated by a estimation example using real patient data.
