Systems and Signal Processing of Capnography as a Diagnostic Tool for Asthma Assessment

Systems and Signal Processing of Capnography as a Diagnostic Tool for  Asthma Assessment provides a comprehensive overview of groundbreaking  tools and techniques for the diagnosis and monitoring of asthma.  Sections cover an introduction to the human respiratory system and the  pathophysiology of asthma before analyzing current assessment concepts,  tools and techniques. The book describes spirometry and the peak flow  meter as existing tools in assessing asthma along with their  limitations. In addition, a detailed description of capnography as a new  approach is included with various studies conducted on its analysis.

Academicians  and researchers in biomedical engineering, particularly in the course  of biomedical signal processing and biomedical instrumentation will find  the book useful.
