Confounding Factors of Impedance Pneumography

Completed
Conditions
Healthy
Sleep Apnea
Registration Number
NCT03408990
Lead Sponsor
Revenio Research
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association of signals recorded and analysed with Ventica® Lung Function Testing System (LFTS) in infants and pre-schoolers during the whole night sleep with the gold standard for sleep recording events, polysomnography, in order to better understand the confounding factors for momentary changes in the impedance pneumography-derived tidal breathing flow-volume (TBFV) curves.
