The invention discloses a
human body breathing heat
metabolism detection device and method based on a
piston type air cylinder. The detection device comprises a flow detection module, a respiratory gas sampling module, a
gas concentration analysis module, a
control unit and a computer, wherein the flow detection module is used for two-way flow detection of respiratory gas; the
breathing gas sampling module is used for sampling and collecting
breathing gas, physically averaging and discharging the
breathing gas at constant flow; the
gas concentration analysis module is used for concentration detection and concentration calibration of
oxygen and
carbon dioxide in respiratory gas; the
control unit is responsible for control and
signal acquisition of motors, valves, sensors and the like in the device; the computer is responsible for data collection, calculation and analysis, man-
machine interaction and result display. The detection method comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out concentration calibration, then, carrying out a
metabolism test on a subject based on a breathing
mask or a breathing
machine, and finally, calculating and obtaining a
metabolism index according to the measured
gas concentration and flow parameters. The method can be applied to two metabolism detection scenes of
mechanical ventilation and
spontaneous respiration, the test is reliable, and
engineering realization is easy.
