W pracy przebadano wplyw wybranych konfiguracji elektrod na jakość uzyskiwanego sygnału EDR. Analizie poddane zostały również częstotliwość próbkowania sygnału EKG i rozdzielczość przetwornika AC/DC. Optymalną konfiguracją elektrod jest odprowadzenie kończynowe pierwsze. Minimalne parametry układu pomiarowego do uzyskania wysokiej jakości sygnału EDR, to częstotliwość probkowania 2,5kHz oraz 14-bitowy przetwornik AC-DC.

Respiration-induced signals contain a clinically significant information. It could be obtained utilizing both direct and indirect methods. ECG-Derived Respiration (EDR) method is the latter one. However, in this case, two approaches could be distinguished. First one is based on determining changes in the morphology of QRS complexes while the second one is based on the Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA) mechanism. The former approach...

EDR is an interesting measuring technique that allows an indirect assessment of respiratory activity. This is an alternative solution to direct methods that are based on the measurement of air flow, which require a specialized sensor or even a system. However, due to inter-personal anatomical differences, the optimal ECG lead (placement of the electrodes) ensuring the best EDR signal quality is not fixed. An influence of ECG lead...

An influence of a human body position on ECG derived respiration (EDR) signal is presented in the paper. Examinations were performed during deep, suspended and normal breathing for eight people in four different body positions. EDR and thoracic impedance signals were compared using correlation and standard deviation coefficients. Obtained results have shown that it is possible to monitor breath activity of people being in different...
