Abstract

The detection and quantitative scoring (required for clinical care) of apnea characteristics in infants designated ‘near miss’ for sudden infant death syndrome, requires extensive visual analysis of polygraphic recordings. In this paper, we describe a polynomial filter-based computer method for the automatic detection and processing of respiratory pauses, expirations and inspirations from long-duration analogue recordings.

Resume

Le dépouillement des apnées dans les enregistrements polygraphiques de nourrissons à risque de mort subite est nécessaire au diagnostic clinique mais ce dépouillement est très long. Cet article décrit une méthode implantée sur microcalculateur permettant la détection automatique des apnées du nourrisson, ainsi que des instants d'inspiration et d'expiration dans des enregistrements de longue durée. Cette méthode est basée sur l'application d'un filtre polynomial au signal respiratoire.
