Air-pressure limit value is an important conditional parameter of artificial respiration. The pulmonary characteristics are very different according to the person. For setting appropriate ventilation conditions fitting to each patient, it is necessary to establish a mathematical model describing the mechanism of human respiratory system, and to know the pulmonary characteristic of each patient via identification of the model. For this purpose, two types of respiratory system models have been proposed by the authors. These models are expressed as second order nonlinear differential equations with air-volume variant elastic coefficient and air-volume variant resistive coefficient. In the first type of model, elastic coefficient is expressed as polynomial function of air-volume, while in the second type of model, elastic coefficient is expressed by RBF network. The model with polynomial expression of elastance has the advantage that the structure is simple. On the other hand, the model with RBF expression of elastance has better numerical stability against to the model with polynomial expression of elastance. In this paper, a decision method of air-pressure limit value based on the respiration model with RBF expression of elastance is proposed. This method adopt a numerical technique to find the point of saturation starting point in the elastance curve, So direct calculation of radius of curvature can be avoided. The proposed method is validated by an example of application to practical clinical data.
