Many articles that appeared in the literature agreed upon the feasibility of diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with a single-lead electrocardiogram. Although high accuracies have been achieved in detection of apneic episodes and classification into apnea/hypopnea, there has not been a consensus on the best method of selecting the feature parameters. This study presents a classification scheme for OSA using common features belonging to the time domain, frequency domain, and nonlinear calculations of heart rate variability analysis, and then proposes a method of feature selection based on correlation matrices (CMs). The results show that the CMs can be utilized in minimizing the feature sets used for any type of diagnosis.
In this study, power spectrum of the EEG data and the heartbeat data obtained from 250 patients has been applied to the designed Neural network system. A backpropagation artificial neural network has been developed which contains 53 nodes in the input layer, 27 nodes in the hidden and 1 node in the output layer. In the artificial neural network inputs, the power spectral density values corresponding 1-50 Hz frequency interval of the EEG slices which has 10 seconds of time interval, the ratio of the total of the PSD values of current EEG slice to the total PSD values of EEG slice of pre-anesthesia, the ratio of the total PSD values of the EEG data to the total PSD values of the previous EEG data, and the previous anaesthetic gas ratio values have been applied and the network has been educated. The designed neural network system has been tested by using 10 data set obtained from 4 different patients. In the anesthetic gas prediction according to the anesthesia level, successful results have been obtained with the designed system. The system has been able to correctly purposeful responses in average accuracy of 94% of the cases. This method is also computationally fast and acceptable real-time clinical performance has been obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
