ventiliser 1.0.0

Provides a pipeline for segmenting pressure and flow data from ventilators into individual breaths with an attempt to identify sub-phases. Developed on data from neonates ventilated on Draeger ventilators

Ventiliser

Ventiliser is a tool for segmenting pressure and flow waveforms from ventilators into breaths. It also attempts to find the position of breath sub-phases. Ventiliser was developed on data from neonates ventialted on Draeger ventilators.

Please see the accompanying paper "Computational analysis of neonatal ventilator waveforms and loops" for details

Installation

Ventiliser depends on numpy, pandas, scipy, atpbar, and PyQT5. Installation via pip is recommended.

pip install ventiliser

Usage

An example of a simple script can be seen below

from ventiliser.GeneralPipeline import GeneralPipeline

pipeline = GeneralPipeline()
pipeline.configure() # For information on parameters you can configure see docs
pipeline.load_data("path to data", [0,1,2]) # [0,1,2] refers to the columns in your data file corresponding to time, pressure, flow
pipeline.process() # You can suppress log and output files by setting them false. See docs for more information

# To access the breaths programmatically you can do as follows
pipeline.labeller.get_breaths_raw()
# To access the pressure and state labels programmatically you can do as follows
pipeline.mapper.p_labels
pipeline.mapper.f_labels

Please view the docs for more detailed information on optional parameters.
