ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Respiratory flow detection with the aim of detecting sleep-related breathing disorders plays a major role in polysomnography. Due to the fact that pneumotachographs are too bulky and not suitable for measurements during sleep, the ThorAKUSTIK system has been developed. By attaching a noise sensor right next to larynx, it determines the respiratory flow in an acoustic way.METHODS:
The ThorAKUSTIK system as well as a pneumotachograph were applied simultaneously. The correlation between those two methods has been calculated. PATIENTS We investigated twenty male subjects. All of them were non-smokers.RESULTS:
The ThorAKUSTIK-System showed a highly positive correlation (râ=â0.89 to 0.91; pâ<â0.01) and was able to measure the respiratory flow in a reliable way.CONCLUSIONS:
The ThorAKUSTIK-System allows a long-term live monitoring and has the potential to be used in several clinical departments. Larger studies are necessary to verify the application in the clinical routine.
