Assessment of Respiration01:23

Assessment of Respiration

2.3K
The respiratory system's basic structures and primary functions lay the foundation for nurses' comprehensive respiratory assessments. This assessment includes subjective and objective data to gauge the patient's respiratory health.
Subjective Assessment: Nurses interview the patient to gather information directly during the subjective assessment. It includes questions about the individual's medical history, medications, and symptoms, focusing on past respiratory conditions like...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Kinesiology
  • Wearable Technology

Background:

  • The Sedentary Sphere is a novel method for analyzing and visualizing sedentary behaviors.
  • It utilizes data from wrist-worn triaxial accelerometers to identify and present movement patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the Sedentary Sphere concept.
  • To evaluate the accuracy of posture classification using wrist accelerometer data.

Main Methods:

  • Three distinct participant groups were studied: free-living, laboratory-based, and hospital inpatients.
  • Participants wore wrist-worn GENEActiv accelerometers, with some also wearing thigh-mounted devices and activPAL for comparison.
  • Posture was classified using the Sedentary Sphere concept applied to wrist accelerometry data.

Main Results:

  • Sitting time measured by wrist GENEActiv correlated well with thigh-mounted activPAL (rho = 0.9, P < 0.001).
  • Mean intraindividual agreement for posture classification was 85% ± 7%.
  • Excellent validity (96% ± 3% agreement) was observed when the accelerometer was thigh-mounted.

Conclusions:

  • The Sedentary Sphere effectively determines posture from wrist-worn GENEActiv data.
  • Visualizing behaviors on the sphere provides insights into wrist movement patterns and positions during different activities.
