Does an ECG-based estimation method accurately measure respiratory frequency during stress testing compared to direct airflow measurement?
Effect estimate: 5.9% +/- 4%
A novel ECG-based method can accurately estimate respiratory frequency during stress testing despite nonstationary noise and QRS morphology changes.
Bailón et al. (2006) studied Stress testing (n=34). ECG-based estimation of respiratory frequency vs. Airflow signals was evaluated on Respiratory frequency estimation error compared to airflow signals (5.9% +/- 4%). An ECG-based method for estimating respiratory frequency during stress testing yielded a mean error of 5.9% ± 4% (0.022 ± 0.016 Hz) compared to reference airflow signals.
