Breathing

60.2K
The process of breathing, inhaling and exhaling, involves the coordinated movement of the chest wall, the lungs, and the muscles that move them. Two muscle groups with important roles in breathing are the diaphragm, located directly below the lungs, and the intercostal muscles, which lie between the ribs. When the diaphragm contracts, it moves downward, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and creating more room for the lungs to expand. When the intercostal muscles contract, the ribs...

Assessment of Ventilation II: Respiratory Depth and Rhythm

Respiratory Depth
Respiratory depth measures the volume of air inhaled or exhaled during a breath. It can vary from shallow to deep and typically remains consistent when a person is at rest or asleep. Occasionally, individuals will automatically inhale deeply, known as sighing, which inflates the lungs with more air than normal breathing.
To assess respiratory depth, observe the degree of chest excursion or movement:

Assessment of Respiration

1.3K
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...

Neural Control of Respiration01:18

Neural Control of Respiration

2.9K
The neural regulation of respiration is a meticulously coordinated process primarily controlled by the respiratory centers located within the brainstem. These centers, composed of specialized neurons, transmit nerve impulses that control the contraction and relaxation of our respiratory muscles.
Respiratory Centers in the Brainstem
Two primary areas comprise the respiratory center: the medullary respiratory center in the medulla oblongata and the pontine respiratory group in the pons. The...

Mechanism of Breathing I: Inspiration

Introduction to Inspiration: The Respiratory System in Action
The respiratory system, an essential network for breathing, comprises the conducting and respiratory zones, each playing a crucial role in the overall process of respiration. Let us explore the detailed mechanism of inspiration, or inhalation, which is the first phase of the respiratory cycle.
Pathway of Air during Inspiration
During inspiration, air enters our body through the nose or mouth and moves through the conducting zone,...

Physiological Control of Respiration01:23

Physiological Control of Respiration

2.3K
Introduction
Breathing, a seemingly passive process, is regulated by the respiratory center in the brainstem. This center coordinates the involuntary control of respirations, which means it occurs without conscious effort, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted pattern.
Regulation of Ventilation
The body maintains ventilation by monitoring levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and hydrogen ion concentration (pH) in the arterial blood. Among these factors, the level of CO2 plays a crucial...

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Slow-paced breathing training offers physiological and psychological benefits.
  • Low adherence to traditional breathing training apps is a significant challenge.
  • Gameful approaches, like the Breeze 2 app, show promise for improving engagement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce and evaluate the Breeze 2 gameful breathing training app.
  • Assess a novel real-time breathing detection algorithm enabling app interactivity.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a deep transfer learning algorithm for inhalation, exhalation, and non-breathing sound detection.
  • Utilized a heuristic to stabilize exhalation predictions.
  • Evaluated the app with 30 participants, assessing user engagement, perceived effectiveness, and detection accuracy.

Main Results:

  • Participants reported high engagement (User Engagement Scale Short Form) and perceived effectiveness.
  • Perceived breathing detection accuracy correlated significantly with actual performance (r=0.51, P<.001).
  • A heuristic improved detection accuracy, which performed better using smartphone microphones than headphones.

Conclusions:

  • Breeze 2 was perceived as engaging and effective by 93% of participants.
  • The breathing detection algorithm demonstrated good performance.
  • Future work will refine detection and utilize Breeze 2 for noncommunicable disease interventions.
