Theory of resistive load detection
Abstract
During normal breathing the brain sets the required muscle pressure to overcome resistance and elastance and presumably monitors the resultant flow (rate of change of volume). The lag in flow compared to the pressure can be described by a phase angle. When a small resistive load is added the resultant flow is delayed further and the phase angle increases. We postulate that if the change in phase angle exceeds a critical phase lag, the added …
