POLYSOMNOGRAPHIC MONITORING USING REAL TIME ANALYSIS

D. Barschdorff, I. Hanheide, E. Trowitzsch

Abstract

Respiration monitoring is an important part of polysomnography. Measurements are based on different principles like impedance pneumography, inductive plethysmography or the thermistor technique. Sensors disturb the patient and influence on the quality of measurement results. In this paper a real time method for computation of the respiration from the photopletysmographic signal is discussed for which only a sensor at one of human's peripheries is needed.
