It is estimated that between 200,000 - 250,000 Norwegians are subject to theincurable disease COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), whichcounts for around 8.5% of the adult population. Only about one third of thoseare diagnosed, and need to go regularly to the doctor in order to monitor theprogression.The goal of this master project is to build a prototype circuit board that can beused to monitor those patients at home instead.

La ventilation est une fonction complexe, avec des variabilités naturelles intra- et inter-individuelles imprévisibles, parfois inhomogènes dans le volume pulmonaire. La spirométrie standard est l'examen de référence pour évaluer la fonction ventilatoire à partir de courbes débit-volume mesurées à la bouche et en respiration forcée. Cette technique simple et fiable est limité par la nécessaire coopération du patient, ainsi que par la nature globale de sa mesure. Étant donné que la respiration est intrinsèquement un phénomène tridimensionnel et que les maladies pulmonaires sont généralement rég

Abstract:

Hälsorisker och lungsjukdomar relaterat till rökning är en sanning som inte kan underskattas. Att den effektivaste åtgärden är att sluta att röka är också ett känt fenomen. Att det krävs en stark inre motivation hos rökaren själv för att lyckas med att sluta att röka är ett annat känt faktum. Vårdpersonalen kan inom sitt hälsofrämjande kompetensområde påverka och förstärka motivationen hos rökare, genom att erbjuda olika rökavvänjningsmetoder. Dessutom finns det möjlighet att genom mätning av lungfunktionen/spirometri diagnostisera eller följa upp en försämrad lungfunktion orsakad av rökning.

Abstract:

More spirometric analysis needs to be performed in order to discover lung diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A mini spirometer can quickly and easily be used for screening. Today, a plethysmograph is used at the hospital in Helsingborg at the department of clinically physiology. However, they also have a mini spirometer, which is seldom used. By comparing the mini spirometer with the reference (the plethysmograph), results may indicate whether it could be possible to use the mini spirometer for screening or in other situations at the department when immediate and relia

Introduktion: Spirometri är en metod som utförs för att utesluta eller bekräfta en lungsjukdom. Dynamisk spirometri innebär mätning av lungvolymsförändringar över tid och omfattar både långsam och forcerad spirometri. Vid långsam spirometri mäts vitalkapacitet (VK). Vid forcerad spirometri mäts forcerad exspiratorisk volym på en sekund (FEV1), forcerad vitalkapacitet (FVK) och FEV%. Spirometri utförs i sittande position men den kan också utföras i stående position.

Abstract:

At least 11 million Americans are diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and there is a high likelihood millions more suffer from the disease but are undiagnosed. Spirometry is a medical test to determine how well a patient’s lungs work, and is used to diagnosis COPD. Despite this test’s utility, resident providers may be uneducated about or uncomfortable with administering spirometry. Past research has demonstrated that brief educational interventions can lead to clinically significant improvements in knowledge of spirometry. The purpose of this study is to compare famil

Abstract:

Introduction: Ergospirometry is used to evaluate working capacity and assess whether limitations may originate from circulation or respiration. It is typically based on an ordinary exercise test, in conjunction with respiratory analysis. A six-minute walk test (6MWT) may be used to asses a patients functional capacity. The subject walks a 30-meter-long hallway as far as possible for six minutes. Equipment is now available to analyse ventilation simultaneously. The purpose of the study was to validate Spiropalm 6MWT Hand-held Spirometer against Jaeger Oxycon Pro, focusing on minute ventilation.

This thesis is the first to demonstrate the most appropriate spirometry and FeNO reference values for use amongst Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young adults.

Results from this study also suggest that healthy Australian Indigenous lung function data may not be as low as previously reported in earlier studies.

Not all patients are able to perform the method due to illness or related problems therefore it would be favourable if the ward could change to an easier method called intrabreath (IB)

Abstract:

Background Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are common obstructive airway diseases with a substantial burden in terms of morbidity, mortality and costs. Smoking is the single most important risk factor for COPD, and is associated with incident asthma. It is important to know if the prevalence of asthma and COPD is increasing or decreasing in the population in order to effectively allocate health care resources. The definitions of these diseases have varied over time which makes it difficult to measure changes in prevalence. The preferred method is to estimate the prevale

Objetivos: avaliar o efeito dos padrões ventilatórios reexpansivos associados ao biofeedback respiratório (BFR) sobre a função pulmonar, força muscular respiratória e hábitos em respiradores bucais funcionais. Métodos: foram avaliadas 60 crianças respiradoras bucais funcionais (RBF), divididas em Grupo Experimental e Controle, sendo o Grupo Experimental submetido a 15 sessões de padrões ventilatórios reexpansivos associados ao BFR por meio do biofeedback pletsmovent (MICROHARD® V1.0), o qual proporciona o biofeedback dos movimentos tóraco-abdominais e o Grupo Controle submetido ao mesmo número

Abstract:

As deformidades dentofaciais (DDF) compreendem alterações no equilíbrio dentofacial que comprometem a estética e a funcionalidade do sistema estomatognático. O crescimento e desenvolvimento craniofacial são influenciados pela respiração, porém as condições respiratórias nesses indivíduos são pouco abordadas na literatura. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo caracterizar a função respiratória de indivíduos com deformidade dentofacial em relação às vias aéreas superiores e inferiores, bem como aos aspectos da respiração voltados para a fonação, neste mesmo grupo de indivíduos.

Abstract:

Spirometry (lung function assessment) is an essential tool for the chronic disease management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Chronic disease monitoring for COPD was introduced in 2004 and included spirometry for target achievement and financial remuneration within the Quality and Outcomes Framework of the General Medical Services Contract. However, practice nurses have anecdotally struggled to gain competence and expertise with the spirometric procedure and interpretation post 2004, despite the successful achievement of financial targets within the general practice setting.

60 children with bronchial asthma were investigated of the age of 11-15. Children, who were investigated, were divided into 2 groups: the first group consisted of 30 children, who did exercises in the sport hall; the second group consisted of 30 children, who did exercises in the water. Physical therapy for both groups was provided for 30 minutes 6 days a week 1 time per day. Physical therapy included active gymnastic exercises using various physical therapy tools. It was provided two lung ventilation tests with spirometer “Spiromed 250”: the first test was taken before starting to do physical
