This paper introduces an alternative approach of simulating and evaluating patient-ventilator interactions with high fidelity using the electromechanical lung simulator xPULM™. The xPULM™ approximates respiratory activities of a patient during alternating phases of spontaneous breathing and apnea intervals while connected to a mechanical ventilator. Focusing on different triggering events, volume assist-control (V/A-C) and pressure support ventilation (PSV) modes were chosen to test patient-ventilator interactions. In V/A-C mode, a double-triggering was detected every third breathing cycle, leading to an asynchrony index of 16.67\%, which is classified as severe. This asynchrony causes a significant increase of peak inspiratory pressure (7.96 ± 6.38 vs. 11.09 ± 0.49 cmH2O, p < 0.01)) and peak expiratory flow (-25.57 ± 8.93 vs. 32.90 ± 0.54 L/min, p < 0.01) when compared to synchronous phases of the breathing simulation. Additionally, events of premature cycling were observed during PSV mode. In this mode, the peak delivered volume during simulated spontaneous breathing phases increased significantly (917.09 ± 45.74 vs. 468.40 ± 31.79 mL, p < 0.01) compared to apnea phases. Various dynamic clinical situations can be approximated using this approach and thereby could help to identify undesired patient-ventilation interactions in the future. Rapidly manufactured ventilator systems could also be tested using this approach.

The objective of this work is to experimentally investigate changes in aerosol particle diameter and particle number concentration of pharmaceutical aerosols generated by four dry powder inhalers under realistic inhalation and exhalation conditions. To simulate patients undergoing inhalation therapy, the active respiratory system model (xPULM™) was used. A mechanical upper airway model was developed, manufactured, and introduced as a part of the xPULM™ to represent the human upper respiratory tract with high fidelity. Integration of optical aerosol spectrometry technique into the setup allowed for evaluation of pharmaceutical aerosols. The results show that there is a significant difference (p < 0.05) in mean particle diameter between inhaled and exhaled particles with the majority of the particles depositing in the lung, while particles with the size of (>0.5 μm) are least influenced by deposition mechanisms. The fraction of exhaled particles ranges from 2.13\% (HandiHaler®) over 2.94\% (BreezHaler®), and 6.22\% (Turbohaler®) to 10.24\% (Ellipta®). These values are comparable to previously published studies. Furthermore, the mechanical upper airway model increases the resistance of the overall system and acts as a filter for larger particles (>3 μm). In conclusion, the xPULM™ active respiratory system model is a viable option for studying interactions of pharmaceutical aerosols and the respiratory tract regarding applicable deposition mechanisms. The model strives to support the reduction of animal experimentation in aerosol research and provides an alternative to experiments with human subjects.}, subject = {Biomedical Engineering}, language = {en} } @article{PastekaForjanSauermannetal., author = {Pasteka, Richard and Forjan, Mathias and Sauermann, Stefan and Drauschke, Andreas}, title = {Electro-mechanical Lung Simulator Using Polymer and Organic Human Lung Equivalents for Realistic Breathing Simulation}, series = {Scientific Reports}, volume = {Vol 9}, journal = {Scientific Reports}, number = {No. 1}, pages = {Article number: 19778}, abstract = {Simulation models in respiratory research are increasingly used for medical product development and testing, especially because in-vivo models are coupled with a high degree of complexity and ethical concerns. This work introduces a respiratory simulation system, which is bridging the gap between the complex, real anatomical environment and the safe, cost-effective simulation methods. The presented electro-mechanical lung simulator, xPULM, combines in-silico, ex-vivo and mechanical respiratory approaches by realistically replicating an actively breathing human lung. The reproducibility of sinusoidal breathing simulations with xPULM was verified for selected breathing frequencies (10-18 bpm) and tidal volumes (400-600 ml) physiologically occurring during human breathing at rest. Human lung anatomy was modelled using latex bags and primed porcine lungs. High reproducibility of flow and pressure characteristics was shown by evaluating breathing cycles (nTotal = 3273) with highest standard deviation |3σ| for both, simplified lung equivalents (μV˙ = 23.98 ± 1.04 l/min, μP = -0.78 ± 0.63 hPa) and primed porcine lungs (μV˙ = 18.87 ± 2.49 l/min, μP = -21.13 ± 1.47 hPa).

Experimental measurements are performed and simulation results mutually compared using the electro-mechanical lung simulator xPULM. The inhalatory waveforms are repeatably simulated with high fidelity in regards to the waveform shape with the lowest value of the Goodness of fit 0.89. Additionally, the measured values for all characteristic inhalatory parameters are simulated with low standard deviation < 1.

The solutions were tested under domain specific environments and have shown good results and positive feedback.}, subject = {Virtual Reality}, language = {en} } @misc{BalzLangerFrohneretal., author = {Balz, Andrea and Langer, Sarah and Frohner, Matthias and Forjan, Mathias}, title = {Development of Internationalized Teaching and Training Modules for Healthcare Professionals}, series = {Abstracts of the 2022 Joint Annual Conference of the Austrian ({\"O}GBMT), German (VDE DGBMT) and Swiss (SSBE) Societies for Biomedical Engineering, including the 14th Vienna International Workshop on Functional Electrical Stimulation}, journal = {Abstracts of the 2022 Joint Annual Conference of the Austrian ({\"O}GBMT), German (VDE DGBMT) and Swiss (SSBE) Societies for Biomedical Engineering, including the 14th Vienna International Workshop on Functional Electrical Stimulation}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1515/bmt-2022-2001}, pages = {353}, subject = {Internationalized Teaching}, language = {en} } @misc{EidiBalzForjan, author = {Eidi, Nada and Balz, Andrea and Forjan, Mathias}, title = {MedTech-mR - Creating a Virtual Enviroment for Medical Training and Room Planning}, series = {Abstracts of the 2022 Joint Annual Conference of the Austrian ({\"O}GBMT), German (VDE DGBMT) and Swiss (SSBE) Societies for Biomedical Engineering, including the 14th Vienna International Workshop on Functional Electrical Stimulation}, journal = {Abstracts of the 2022 Joint Annual Conference of the Austrian ({\"O}GBMT), German (VDE DGBMT) and Swiss (SSBE) Societies for Biomedical Engineering, including the 14th Vienna International Workshop on Functional Electrical Stimulation}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1515/bmt-2022-2001}, pages = {349}, subject = {Medical Training}, language = {en} } @misc{MalaskovaForjan, author = {Malaskova, Michaela and Forjan, Mathias}, title = {Current topics in Life Science Engineering lectures}, series = {Abstracts of the 2022 Joint Annual Conference of the Austrian ({\"O}GBMT), German (VDE DGBMT) and Swiss (SSBE) Societies for Biomedical Engineering, including the 14th Vienna International Workshop on Functional Electrical Stimulation}, journal = {Abstracts of the 2022 Joint Annual Conference of the Austrian ({\"O}GBMT), German (VDE DGBMT) and Swiss (SSBE) Societies for Biomedical Engineering, including the 14th Vienna International Workshop on Functional Electrical Stimulation}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1515/bmt-2022-2001}, pages = {350}, subject = {Life Science Engineering}, language = {en} }
