BACKGROUND: Approximately 500,000 children undergo tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (T&A) annually for treatment of obstructive sleep disordered breathing (oSDB). Although polysomnography is beneficial for preoperative risk stratification in these chi...
The severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is classified using apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Accurate determination of AHI currently requires manual analysis and complicated registration setup making it expensive and labor intensive. Partially for t...
Retinal oximetry is a non-invasive technique to investigate the hemodynamics, vasculature and health of the eye. Current techniques for retinal oximetry have been plagued by quantitatively inconsistent measurements and this has greatly limited their ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Fraction of Inspired Oxygen is one of the arbitrary set ventilator parameters which has critical influence on the concentration of blood oxygen. Normally mechanical ventilators providing respiratory assistance are tuned manu...
OBJECTIVES: Manual clinical scoring systems are the current standard used for acute asthma clinical care pathways. No automated system exists that assesses disease severity, time course, and treatment impact in pediatric acute severe asthma exacerbat...

Complexity, costs, and waiting list issues demand a simplified alternative for sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) diagnosis. The blood oxygen saturation signal (SpO) carries useful information about SAHS and can be easily acquired from overnight ox...
This study aims to introduce a novel device with which mechanical ventilator and pulse oximeter work in synchronization. Serial communication technique was used to enable communication between the pulse oximeter and the ventilator. The SpO2 value and...
