Abstract
A new, inexpensive commercial infant respiration monitor, the Baby-Sitter by Direct Diagnostics Ltd, has been evaluated and subjected to clinical trial. Dual respiration recordings were made from infants exhibiting apnoeic episodes to compare the new monitor with an acceptable reference monitor (Graesby Medical Model MR10). Both monitors are designed to detect respiration movement by means of pressure pulses produced in an air-filled sensor attached to the infant''s abdomen. The new monitor is found to have acceptable performance.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
