Polysomnography를 위한 열전대 호흡센서 시스템의 설계
Design of Respiratory Sensor System for polysomnography using Thermocouple
초록
Changes in breathing pattern and apnea both can be !he result of sleep disorders. The focus of this paper is to develop methodologies to monitor the breathing pattern and to detect apnea. An accurate recording of the respiratory phase can be carried out with different methods. One of these methods is the use of a thermocouple, which reacts to the variation in air temperature, placed in the nose and mouth of the patient. The K-type thermocouple was used because it has high reliability, thermo-stability, and good corrosion resistance. And also, it has a considerable long time constant that gives a low cut-off frequency, well below the respiratory frequency and thereby causing a large phase difference. The result showed that timing of respiration was accurately obtained with the AD595, amplifier for K-type thermocouple.
