This study proposes a method of automatically classifying sleep apnea/hypopnea events based on sleep states and the severity of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) using photoplethysmogram (PPG) and oxygen saturation (SpO2) signals acquired from a pulse...
OBJECTIVES: Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is the standard for definitive airway management in emergency medicine. In a video-based study of RSI in a paediatric emergency department (ED), we reported a high degree of process variation and frequent a...
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy requires patients to be secured in a steep Trendelenburg position for several hours. Added to the CO2 pneumoperitoneum that is created, this positioning invariably restricts diaphragmatic a...

This study explores the potential of federated learning (FL) to develop a predictive model of hypoxemia in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Centralized learning (CL) and local learning (LL) approaches have been limited by the localized nature of d...
This study develops machine learning-based algorithms that facilitate accurate prediction of cerebral oxygen saturation using waveform data in the near-infrared range from a multi-modal oxygen saturation sensor. Data were obtained from 150,000 observ...

Characterization of sleep stages is essential in the diagnosis of sleep-related disorders but relies on manual scoring of overnight polysomnography (PSG) recordings, which is onerous and labor-intensive. Accordingly, we aimed to develop an accurate d...

Automated analysis of the blood oxygen saturation (SpO) signal from nocturnal oximetry has shown usefulness to simplify the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), including the detection of respiratory events. However, the few preceding studies ...
SIGNIFICANCE: Two-dimensional (2-D) fully convolutional neural networks have been shown capable of producing maps of sO2 from 2-D simulated images of simple tissue models. However, their potential to produce accurate estimates in vivo is uncertain as...

UNLABELLED: In neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), 87.5% of alarms by the monitoring system are false alarms, often caused by the movements of the neonates. Such false alarms are not only stressful for the neonates as well as for their parents and...
