Abstract

Resting breathing data was collected from 80 smokers, vapers, asthmatics, and otherwise healthy people in the low-risk clinical unit at the University of Canterbury. Subjects were asked to breathe normally through a full-face mask connected to a Fisher and Paykel Healthcare SleepStyle SPSCAA CPAP device. PEEP (Positive End-Expiratory Pressure) support was increased from 4 to 12 cmH₂O in 0.5 cmH₂O increments. Data was also collected during resting breathing at ZEEP (0 cmH₂O) before and after the PEEP trial. The trial was conducted under University of Canterbury Human Research Ethics Committee consent (Ref: HREC 2023/04/LR-PS). Data was collected by and Dräeger PulmoVista 500 EIT machine and a custom Venturi-based pressure and flow sensor device connected in series with the CPAP and full-face mask. The outlined dataset includes pressure, flow, volume, dynamic circumference (thoracic and abdominal, and cross-sectional aeration. Subject demographic data was self-reported using a questionnaire given prior to the trial.
