Non-Invasive Method For Measuring Changes In Body Position And Respiration
A method and system of simultaneously monitoring body position and respiration of a subject are provided. The end-expiratory value of an axial dimension of a distance Xi between a first location and a second location is monitored for the subject orientation, and is then assigned a body position for the subject orientation during a calibration maneuver in which the subject is asked to assume various body positions. The transient voltage spikes in Xi voltage are measured to determine when the subject orientation changes. Following the subject orientation change, the stable end-expiratory voltage is determined to define a new body position. The new body position is outputted to a data output interface communicating with varied output devices.
Noninvasive Method And System For Measuring Pulmonary Ventilation
A pulmonary ventilation system comprising means for storing an empirical relationship that is designed and adapted to determine at least one pulmonary ventilation parameter as a function of a plurality of measured anatomical distances and volume-motion coefficients, means for acquiring the anatomical distances, means for determining the plurality of motion coefficients, and processing means for determining the ventilation parameter based on the acquired anatomical distances and determined plurality of volume-motion coefficients. In one embodiment, the system further includes means for acquiring base-line ventilation characteristics and means for correlating the base-line ventilation characteristics to the ventilation parameter determined with the empirical relationship.
