Abstract:The main objective of this study was to assess the capability of pulse transit time (PTT) to identify obstructive and/or central apnoeas from normal breathing patterns in sleeping infants. Clinical trials were conducted with PTT being monitored as an adjunct measure in routine overnight polysomnography (PSG) studies. Standard PSG scorings of events were performed by two blinded observers to evaluate PTT accuracy. Data from eight infants (six male; aged 8.5 + 2.1 months; apnoea-hypopnoea index of 12.1 + 8.4 eve… Show more
