Microcomputer-Based System For The Study Of The Respiratory System In Newborns, Nelson Remberto Claure

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A useful understanding of the respiratory system of premature infants and the factors contributing to different physiological mechanisms and diseases requires extensive clinical research. This project is the result of a need for a fast and reliable system to process the information obtained from biological sources and to obtain results from which different hypothesis can be tested.

This document presents a description of one such system and its different subsystems. It describes the biosignals of interest as well as the stages they have to go through in order to obtain an accurate and valid analysis.

The system is hardware and …
