The aim of master thesis submitted by Mr. Richard Paštěka was studying the human lung physiology and respiratory processes followed by the studying of the lung ventilator modul developed within the Alveopic grant project, held between BUT, Dept. of Biomedical Engineering in Brno and FH Technikum Wien. Main part of the thesis consists of the student´s implementation and testing of control and acquisition of cRIO real time unit. The results of connecting both devices are completely documented. Simultaneously he modified the original control unit software, which delivered smoother pressure control in the modul. Thesis was prepared in the Double Degree study programme alternatively in Vienna and Brno and consulted on a distance learning basis. I have no comments regarding the formal aspect, literature was cited correctly, the conclusion is sufficiently covered. Tasks of the thesis are completely fulfilled. The master thesis writen by Bc. Richard Paštěka deserves excellent mark „A“ acording to the ECTS grading scale.
The presented work deals with the advancement if the iLung model 2.1 including optimization, implementation, and verification of an existing control unit into the mechanical lung model. Mr. Paštěka demonstrates the knowledge of the prime physiological principles of breathing and anatomical construction of human lungs in first chapter based on a serious literature research. In the second chapter, he explains the construction principle of the iLung model 2.1. I want emphasize, that the work includes a high quality advancement user manual of the lung model. This user manual is written according the quality management specifications of the UAS Technikum Wien and is a clear ad on to the work order. The third chapter deals with the control unit and its implementation into the iLung 2.1. Mr. Paštěka verifies the control unit in the following chapter. The works concludes with the discussion. The comparison of the realized breathing pattern with the averaged human breathing patterns of test persons shows a very high agreement. This demonstrates the impressive quality of the improved and implemented control unit into the iLung 2.1. The work has a high scientific level and includes important improvements of the iLung 2.1 for its application in further scientific projects. The master thesis is well structured. The main theme is worked out very consequent. Mr. Paštěka cites an adequate number of scientific sources, but especially in the chapter "Introduction" sources are missing. The citations are unsorted and starting with number 31, which is in an unusual manner. However, this small items cannot narrow the excellent overall impression of the presented master thesis. All image sources were cited well. The presented figures and tables relieve the understanding of the running text in a commendable way. Global connections are distinguish and pointed out clearly. The state of the art is presented adequately. The economic and social context could be worked out more detailed. The presented thesis was performed within the Double Degree study program alternately in Vienna and in Brno. Tasks of the thesis are overachieved. I recommend the master thesis written by Richard Paštěka for the grade: outstanding performance with only minor critical remarks (A) according the ECTS grading scale.
