Abstract: This application relates to a method (S0, S0?) for extracting respiratory information from a bio-impedance signal. A first method (S0) relates to determining a respiratory effort signal from a bio-impedance signal by means of Savitzky-Golay low-pass filtering. A second method (S0?) relates to determining a respiratory flow signal from a noise filtered respiratory effort signal not limited to being extracted from a bio-impedance signal, which second method (S0?) implements Savitzky-Golay differentiation. This application also relates to a computer program comprising instructions which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to carry out the first or second method (S0, S0?).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for carrying out a signal-processing viewing of a measurement signal that is correlated with the respiratory activity of an individual, for example, of a measurement signal that is correlated with the respiratory gas. The aim of the invention is to provide solutions with which an improved electronic analysis of the signals that are representative with regard to respiratory activity can be achieved. To this end, the invention provides that viewing results are obtained within the scope of a signal-processing viewing of said measurement signal and make a differentiation between obstructive and central respiratory disorders possible. The viewing results are determined, in particular, while taking into account changes of selected breathing characteristics such as, for example, the change in the ratio of inhalation time to exhalation time.

Abstract: An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a device for whole-body plethysmography (WBP) of a mouse for the continuous characterization of sleep and breathing. The inherent limitations of standard WBP are addressed to enable the continuous recording of validated measures of tidal volume, tidal airflow, and respiratory effort surrogate in an unrestrained, unanesthetized mouse. The addition of standard EEG and EMG recording technology allows for respiratory patterns to be fully characterized during sleep and wakefulness. The present invention also allows for the demonstration of the development of dynamic upper airway obstruction [inspiratory flow limitation (IFL)] during sleep in a susceptible, obese murine strain.
