370.99 Gold standard device for respiration rate measurement?

Last Updated on March 12, 2024 by pg@petergamma.org

For gold standard for heart rate measurements and for heart rate data which are highly reproducable:

  • a 3 channel ECG device
  • the Mason-Likar ECG placement
  • a trained person which checks every ECG

Is required. But unfortunately, there is not yet a gold standard for respiration rate measurement device which is affordable and easy to use.

Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org suggests the following solution:

  1. Device: Peter H. Charlton Respiratory rate estimation Matlab toolbox
  2. Device: Respiration belt transducer with peak tetection to measure respiration rate
  3. Device: air flow measurement and peak detection measurement to measure respiration rate

And to do some testing how to get a respiration rate from these devices which is as accurate as possible.
