From: Realistic human muscle pressure for driving a mechanical lung
Muscle pressure curve. Respiratory muscular pressure used to drive the ASL 5000 mechanical lung. Sinusoidal half-wave model as proposed by the ASL 5000 software. Parameter values: Increase = 20%, Hold = 5%, Release = 20%, Ttot=4 s, Amp=10 cmH 2O. Increase, hold and release are expressed as a fraction of Ttot.
