A photoplethysmogram (PPG) is an optically obtained plethysmogram that can be used to detect blood volume changes in the microvascular bed of tissue. [1] [2] A PPG is often obtained by using a pulse oximeter which illuminates the skin and measures changes in light absorption. [3]
A man undergoing whole body plethysmography. A modern body plethysmograph using ultrasound. A plethysmograph is an instrument for measuring changes in volume within an organ or whole body (usually resulting from fluctuations in the amount of blood or air it contains).
Respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) is a method of evaluating pulmonary ventilation by measuring the movement of the chest and abdominal wall. Accurate measurement of pulmonary ventilation or breathing often requires the use of devices such as masks or mouthpieces coupled to the airway opening.
Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive method for monitoring blood oxygen saturation. Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO 2) readings are typically within 2% accuracy (within 4% accuracy in 95% of cases) of the more accurate (and invasive) reading of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO 2) from arterial blood gas analysis.
Wave intensity analysis [1] provides a method to calculate the properties of arterial waves that give rise to arterial blood pressure, based on measurements of pressure, P, and velocity, U, waveforms (Figure 1). Wave intensity analysis is applicable to the evaluation of circulatory physiology and quantifying the pathophysiology of disorders ...
We're one week closer to the end of the 2024 NFL season and cementing the top half of the 2025 NFL draft order.There are nine teams with at least 10 losses entering Week 16 so the order could ...
Provides multi-resolution analysis, making it suitable for processing non-stationary signals. Computationally intensive. Local feature extraction of P-wave or T-wave and frequency analysis of atrial fibrillation signals. Hilbert–Huang transform: Suitable for fully non-stationary and nonlinear signals. Provides instantaneous frequency ...
Doing spirometry. Spirometry (meaning the measuring of breath) is the most common of the pulmonary function tests (PFTs). It measures lung function, specifically the amount (volume) and/or speed (flow) of air that can be inhaled and exhaled.
