Abstract

In this study, two algorithms for detecting respiratory rate from Portable ECG device were presented. The first algorithms counts the number of ECG samples between R-R peaks, which varies according to respiratory states of patients, such as, exhalation and inhalation. The second algorithms detects the rate by measuring the size of R wave, which also varies according to the respiratory status of patient. These two algorithms were programmed to the laboratory developed ECG device and their usefulness was verified in laboratory environment.
