An educational R package 📦 for calculate various respiratory physiology parameters.
You can install the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("Lightbridge-KS/rslab"){rslab} is an R package that contain functions for calculate
respiratory physiology parameters in the following categories.
-
ATPS to BTPS converter: conversion of spirometry lung volume/flows from ATPS (Ambient Temperature and Pressure Saturated) to BTPS (Body Temperature, Pressure, water vapor Saturated)
-
Harvard Spirometer and Metabolic Rate & Oxygen Consumption:
- Calculate metabolic rate and oxygen consumption V̇O2 from Harvard Spirometer tracing, height and weight of the subject, and environmental conditions which are temperature and barometric pressure.
- Simulate data to plot Harvard spirometer tracing from respiratory parameters such as oxygen consumption, tidal volume, respiratory rate, and random variation can also be added to give a more realistic plot.
