title: Analysis of the human respiratory system in hypoxic and anoxic hypoxia by analogue computer simulation.
abstract: The goal of this work is to synthesise a model of an adaptive system of respiration control in man, which could be used for the prognosis of human performance under extreme conditions. The model was partly based on 428 experimental results from hypoxic and anoxic hypoxia. Simulation of the oxygen regulatory circuit was realised on the NADAC 100 and MEDA T 80 analogue computers with satisfactory results. Equations constituting a new version of the model are presented in some detail, together with the results of the simulation of ventilatory mechanics.
