Abstract

In this study. respiratory efforts were monitored by the change of pulse transit time (PTT) which is related with the arterial pressure PTT is the time interval between the peak of R wave in ECG and the maximal slope point of photoplethysmogram(PPG). Biosignals, ECG and finger photoplethysmogram(PPG), were converted to digital data, and PTT was evaluated in personal computer with every heart beat. Results were presented as a graph using spline interpolation. The software was implemented in C$\^$++/ as a window-based application program. PTT was periodically changed according to airflow in resting respiration. In the resting respiration, PTT was changed according to the respiratory cycle. The amplitude of PTT fluctuation was increased by deep respiration, and increased by partial airway obstruction. These results suggest that PTT is responsible to respiratory effort which could be evaluated by the pattern of PTT change. And it is expected that PTT could be applied in the monitoring of respiratory effort by noninvasive methods, and is very useful method for the evaluation of respiratory distress.

본 연구는 동맥의 압력에 따라 변하는 맥파전달시간(pulse transit time, PTT)을 이용하여 호흡노력을 검출하기 위하여 호흡에 따른 PTT 변화를 관찰하였다. PTT는 심전도의 R파 피크로부터 말초에서 나타나는 광전용적맥(photoplethysmograph, PPG)의 최대기울기점까지 시간이다. 생체 신호를 아날로그-디지탈 변환하여 PC에서 매번 심장주기마다 PTT를 측정하였으며 이산적인 결과를 스플라인 보간법을 사용하여 그래프로 제시하였다. 소프트웨어는 $C^{++}$을 사용하여 windows 환경에서 운용하였다. 안정상태 호흡 시에는 호흡의 주기와 일치하는 주기적인 PTT의 변화가 있었다. 호흡 심도를 증가시킴에 따라 PTT의 진폭이 증가하였으며, 기도저항을 증가시킨 경우에도 PTT의 진폭이 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 PTT가 호흡노력에 따라 반응하는 것을 시사한다. 아울러 PTT를 이용한 호흡노력 모니터링은 비침습적 방법으로써 호흡장애를 감시하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 시사한다.
