Electromagnetic inductance plethysmography is well suited to measure tidal breathing in infants
Reliable, accurate and noninvasive methods for measuring lung function in infants are desirable. Electromagnetic inductance plethysmography has been used to perform infant spirometry and VoluSense Pediatrics (VSP) (VoluSense, Bergen, Norway) represents an updated version of this technique. We aimed to examine its accuracy compared to a validated system measuring airflow via a facemask using an ...
متن کاملKriging is well-suited to parallelize optimization
Beyond both estalished frameworks of derivative-based descent and stochastic search algorithms, the rise of expensive optimization problems creates the need for new specific approaches and procedures. The word ”expensive” —which refers to price and/or time issues— implies severely restricted budgets in terms of objective function evaluations. Such limitations contrast with the computational bur...
متن کاملRespiratory inductance plethysmography in healthy infants: a comparison of three calibration methods.
Respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) measures respiration from body surface movements. Various techniques have been proposed for calibration in order that RIP may be used quantitatively. These include calculation of the proportionality constant of ribcage to abdominal volume change (K). The aims of this study were to 1) establish whether a fixed value of K could be used for calibration,...
متن کاملPolicy Iteration is well suited to optimize PageRank
The question of knowing whether the policy Iteration algorithm (PI) for solving Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) has exponential or (strongly) polynomial complexity has attracted much attention in the last 50 years. Recently, Fearnley proposed an example on which PI needs an exponential number of iterations to converge. Though, it has been observed that Fearnley’s example leaves open the possib...
متن کاملAssessment of tidal breathing parameters in infants with cystic fibrosis.
Simple methods are needed to assess lung function in infants with cystic fibrosis (CF). This study determined the relationship between simple measurements obtained from tidal breathing with those from more complicated forced expiratory manoeuvres. Healthy infants and infants with CF were recruited from two maternity units and five specialist CF hospitals, respectively. Respiratory rate, tidal v...
