A comparison of electrodes for potential use in paediatric/infant apnoea monitoring

Abstract
The authors measured the signal-to-motion-artifact ratio for 10 paediatric/infant electrodes for infant apnoea monitoring. Electrodes that have good stability, strong adhesion, low face-to-face impedance, low transthoracic-plus-electrode impedance, large effective area, and large total area are optimal for impedance pneumography. The gel make-up may also affect optimality.
