Motion artifact (MA) corrupted photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals are the main source of errors in the estimation of arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) in pulse oximeters. For addressing the issue of MA reduction in pulse oximetry applications, the physical origins of PPG signals are to be explored and effective signal processing technique may be employed. In this paper, we propose simple and...
The fact that the photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal caries respiratory information in addition to arterial blood oxygen saturation attracted the researchers to extract the respiratory information from it. In this current work, we present an efficient algorithm, based on the multi scale principal component analysis (MSPCA) technique to extract the respiratory activity from the PPG signals. MSPCA is...
Respiratory signal is usually recorded with techniques like spirometry, pneumography or whole body plethysmography. These techniques require the use of cumbersome devices that may interfere with natural breathing, unmanageable in certain applications such as ambulatory monitoring, stress testing, and sleep studies. Infact, the joint study of cardiac and pulmonary systems is of great interest in most...
Ever since the medical device pulse oximeter was invented, reliable and accurate estimation of arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), based on the differential absorption of red/infrared light by hemoglobin's, has been a challenging task. The Photoplethysmogram (PPG) waveform, also known as the “pulse oximetry waveform”, is well recognized for its use in pulse oximetry applications for the estimation...
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major health concern. In time domain, detection of such condition involving monitoring the 24-h ambulatory ECG is a big issue. Here, the presented work describes higher order spectral analysis carried out on the normal portion of SCD-ECG and the analyzed parameters are compared with that of healthy person ECG. The developed algorithm detects the chances of myocardial...
A Photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal is invariably corrupted with motion artifacts (MA) due to voluntary or involuntary movements of the patient. PPG is a non-invasive signal, used for the estimation of arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), which helps the physician to know the hypoxic status of patient during clinical investigations. This paper presents an efficient Adaptive Step-size Least Mean...
Estimation of respiration rates from electrocardiogram (ECG), blood pressure (BP) and photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals would be an alternative approach for obtaining respiration related information. This process is useful in situations when, ECG, BP and PPG but not respiration is routinely monitored or in cases where, the cardiac arrhythmias are to be studied in correlation with respiratory information...
