Profound Bradypnea in a Patient with Chronic Insomnia

MoS2/Graphene Oxide/C60-OH Nanostructures Deposited on a Quartz Crystal Microbalance Transducer for Humidity Sensing

“…41,42 Slow breathing (bradypnea) refers to the respiratory rate lower than 12 times/min, which is common in anesthetics, impending respiratory failure, central nervous system disorders, and so on. 43 Therefore, real-time monitoring of respiration is of great significance for respiratory disease diagnosis. In view of the importance and significance of respiratory monitoring, recently, many studies have used humidity sensors to monitor breathing, 44−47 making respiratory monitoring a hot application of humidity sensors.…”

“…Owing to this fast response speed, the QCM-5 sensor can monitor human respiration in real-time. It is widely known that the respiratory rate of an adult is usually 12–20 times/min. − Rapid breathing (tachypnea) refers to the respiratory rate more than 20 times/min, which is often found in septicemia, acidosis, pneumonia, pleural effusion, asthma, and allergic reaction. , Slow breathing (bradypnea) refers to the respiratory rate lower than 12 times/min, which is common in anesthetics, impending respiratory failure, central nervous system disorders, and so on . Therefore, real-time monitoring of respiration is of great significance for respiratory disease diagnosis.…”
