Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to analyze the variability of plethysmography curve depending on the breath cycle (respiratory rate and tidal volume).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The plethysmography curve measured by finger sensors using pulse oximetry shows the changes in blood volume at the measured site. The presence of respiratory information within the pulse oximeter signal is a well-documented phenomenon. However, previous studies have mainly focused on extracting the respiratory rate from the plethysmography curve. The aim of this study is to analyze the variability of plethysmography curve as a function of both respiratory rate and tidal volume. Furthermore, the aim is to analyze the possibilities of apneic pause detection from the plethysmography curve.

Study Groups

Measurement of plethysmography curve

Calm measurement of plethysmography curve using pulse oximetry with simultaneous monitoring of the breath cycle. In this experimental arm, participants will vary their breath cycle (different respiratory rates and different tidal volumes).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Respiratory rate

Intervention Type OTHER

The participant alternates respiratory rates of 30, 15 and 7.5 breaths/min. Breathe each frequency for 2 minutes with a one-minute break.

Tidal volume

Intervention Type OTHER

The participant alternates tidal volumes of approx. 2, 1 and 0.5 litres. Breathe each tidal volume for 2 minutes with a one-minute break.

Apnea

Intervention Type OTHER

The participant simulates three apneic pauses lasting 1 minute with a two-minute break.
