Clinical Assessment of the BreathAlert Device in Monitoring Apneic Episodes
Sponsor: William Marsh Rice University
Summary
A team of researchers at Rice University in partnership with clinicians at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital created BreathAlert, a low cost battery-powered monitor that detects and corrects apnea. This study evaluates the ability of BreathAlert to detect respiration and apneic episodes in infants. Data from BreathAlert and vital signs monitors is collected. The performance of BreathAlert in respiration and apnea detection is compared with traditional vital sign monitoring which may include temperature, heart rate, EKG, respiratory rate, SPO2 and impedance pneumography.
