Abstract

The human body has vital parameters such as respiration, heart rate, and body temperature. Respiratory rate (RR) is a parameter that expresses the rate of respiration per minute. Respiratory activities play an essential role in human life. The rate of respiration has a particular range, which is 14-18 cycles per minute for a healthy and normal person at rest. The oxygen in the blood enters the body during respiration and is expelled as carbon dioxide in return. Any problems with breathing may pose a serious health risk. An abnormal breathing pattern indicates serious illnesses such as cardiac arrest and hospitalization in the intensive care unit (ICU) and when it falls below a certain limit, it indicates a loss of consciousness. This is why it is so imperative to develop devices and methods measuring respiration rates.

Highlights

  • In this study, methods that are used to estimate respiration rates are examined, such as sensor Strain Gauge and induction method

  • The earliest type of strain gauge was invented by Ruge that this sensor consisted of a piece of cigarette paper to which a small wire was attached

  • With the advancement of science and knowledge, these cares are done using technology, because the use of old methods is associated with error

Summary

Introduction

Methods that are used to estimate respiration rates are examined, such as sensor Strain Gauge and induction method. The advantages of these methods are: Be safe, Easy to use, Non-invasive [111], Low cost, Portability [12,13,14,15], High responsiveness [16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32], and the patient does not need special preparation for use. In the Indirect methods, the sensors that are used in the devices examine the variables related to air movement. In this method, the sensors do not come into contact with the airways.
