Automatic AutoPEEP Detection Platform - System overview. The platform functions on the basis of respiratory flow signal. For each end-expiration t k it detects, the Phase change detector triggers the data acquisition/conversion process. Based on observations Y k provided by the Data acquisition/conversion module and parameters given by the Estimator, the AutoPEEP Detector performs an optimal testing with respect to specified tolerance τ and level γ to decide whether or not an AutoPEEP is present.
