Özet

The importance and need for respirators has once again shown itself due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) epidemic, which has recently spread around the world and has been declared as a Pandemic (epidemic worldwide) by the world health organization. Monitoring respiratory activity plays a vital role in detecting respiratory diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). In this study, a working group of 6 participants was formed to measure respiratory parameters. Each individual was provided to perform FVC, VC, MVV, RR and TV performance. The measurements were carried out simultaneously with the medical spirometer device. A total of 1860 data (1500 data for VC, 360 data for MVV) were sampled and all data were analyzed in Matlab program. It was observed that the results obtained were quite similar to each other (RMVV=0.998 for MVV; RVC=0.997 for VC). One of the most important contributions of this study is that the measured data can be sent to the computer and saved to the SD card. Thus, with the thermal printers in standard spirometers, paper wastage was prevented and the data was stored in digital environment. The developed system offers a practical and low cost solution. The developed device is expected to take an important place in biomedical device technology with its ability to measure COPD parameters.
