Abstract

Respiration monitoring is important in many clinical situations due to its relationship to vitality. But present commercial monitoring systems are bulky and expensive, so they are inadequate to be used for long term recording or out-patients application. We have developed a low cost, low power, handhold respiration monitoring system based on airflow measurement. Respiration flow is indirectly detected using a thermister or a themocouple sensor. Real time recording of respiration rate, abnormality detection and apnea alarming are available.
