چکیده

We investigate the phase synchronization of heartbeat and respiration in a group of healthy infants. Having presented and compared two quantitative measures of synchronization, we conclude that one of these measures — the conditional probability index — allows reliable detection of synchronous epochs of different order n :m and, thus, makes possible an automatic processing of large data sets. In our analysis of experimental time series, we have found numerous epochs of phase synchronization. It turned out that the average degree of synchronization varies with the age of the newborns.

Cardiorespiratory Synchronization: is it a Real Phenomenon?

In this work we present a quantitative approach to the analysis of cardiorespiratory synchronization, which is a newly discovered phenomenon. The primary aim of this stu+ is to determine whether cardiorespiratory synchronization is a real phenomenon or a random one. We utilized the surrogate data analysis approach. A surrogate data set was constructed ji-om recordings of ECG and respiration obt...

Empirical mode decomposition and synchrogram approach to cardiorespiratory synchronization.

We use the empirical mode decomposition method to decompose experimental respiratory signals into a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and consider one of these IMFs as a respiratory rhythm. We then use the Hilbert spectral analysis to calculate the instantaneous phase of the IMF. Heartbeat data are finally incorporated to construct the cardiorespiratory synchrogram, which is a visual tool...

Prediction of Extubation readiness in extremely preterm infants by the automated analysis of cardiorespiratory behavior: study protocol

BACKGROUND Extremely preterm infants (≤ 28 weeks gestation) commonly require endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation (MV) to maintain adequate oxygenation and gas exchange. Given that MV is independently associated with important adverse outcomes, efforts should be made to limit its duration. However, current methods for determining extubation readiness are inaccurate and a significa...

Model for cardiorespiratory synchronization in humans.

Recent experimental studies suggest that there is evidence for a synchronization between human heartbeat and respiration. We develop a physiologically plausible model for this cardiorespiratory synchronization, and numerically show that the model can exhibit stable synchronization against given perturbations. In our model, in addition to the well-known influence of respiration on heartbeat, the...

Oscillations of heart rate and respiration synchronize during poetry recitation.

The objective of this study was to investigate the synchronization between low-frequency breathing patterns and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) of heart rate during guided recitation of poetry, i.e., recitation of hexameter verse from ancient Greek literature performed in a therapeutic setting. Twenty healthy volunteers performed three different types of exercises with respect to a cross-sec...
