Implement PEEP detection #830

Open martukas opened 4 years ago

martukas commented 4 years ago

What has to be done An algorithm must be selected and described for how PEEP is measured and calculated. The definition must reference appropriate requirements, standards or literature that authoritatively ensure the correctness of the chosen algorithm. The implementation must be testable, and the documented definition must be clear enough to confirm by inspection that the implementation and tests correctly reflect the desired algorithm.

How do you know it has to be done Standards and requirements often mention this parameter as crucial. For example: https://github.com/RespiraWorks/Ventilator/blob/master/software/design/ventilation_modes.md

Code pointers Not entirely clear at first glance. Which is probably indicative of a problem. The code for this should likely be a class of its own that can be tested in isolation

Code Pointers: check the BreathSignals class in GUI: right now the displayed PEEP is the minimum pressure attained the previous breath
