MASS-SPECTROMETRIC STUDIES OF THE DYNAMICS OF EXHALED AIR COMPOSITION DURING DYNAMIC POSTURAL EFFECTS

The paper studies the possibility of using a quadrupole gas mass spectrometer as part of a diagnostic complex based on a rotary (mechanorgical) table to assess the effectiveness of the dynamic postural effects on patients. Analysis of the obtained mass spectrograms indicates that the response of patients is individual and can vary significantly. Taking into account the mass spectrometric parameters of exhaled air allows the patient to be assigned to a specific group. Information on the concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the patient's exhalation, as well as the analysis of the envelope shape of the measured dynamic mass spectrograms can be used for comprehensive diagnostics of the patient's condition in addition to the data of the main sensors in the complex.
