Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005020815A1] The invention relates to a novel respiratory motion detector (RMD) which is used to observe the physiological respiratory motion of a patient and which is based on infrared motion detection (PIR technology). The inventive detector can be used during the day and at night in order to detect chest expansion with each inhale and exhale and to detect the warm exhaled air flow. The invention is suitable for both adults and new-borns as well as for use in veterinary medicine. In the event of a prolonged respiratory arrest, the electronic system can be used to trigger a local and/or remote alarm.
