Abstract :
This paper presents results of experiments with the identification of pneumatic parameters for the five models of human flow during artificially caused transient states. These transient states are caused by short-time negative pulses, which are generated at the outlet of the patient´s air-ducts. In this paper is shown the influence of the non-linear character of the model on the respiratory system parameter identification results.
