    Abstract

    We present two methods for identifying respiratory cycle phases from tracheal sound signal during sleep. The methods utilize the Hilbert transform in envelope extraction. They determine automatically a patient-specific amplitude threshold to be used in the detection. The core of one method is designed to be amplitude-independent whereas the other method uses solely the amplitude information. The methods provided average sensitivities of 98% and 99%, respectively, and positive prediction values of 100% on the total of 1434 respiratory cycles analysed from six different patients. The developed methods seem promising as such or as tools for analysing sleep disordered breathing.
