The method of measurement of respiration parameters based on detection of movement of the patient's chest

The method of measurement of respiration parameters based on registration of movements of the chest. As the displacement sensor using an optical sensor. Fixation changes chest volume is done by measuring the cross-sectional perimeter. For the procedure, the patient is placed on a couch and using a non stretchable cord encircling the chest, fixed on the couch. The attachment point is not a stretchable cord to the couch installed resilient element.

Proposed respiration measurement device structure consisting of the timer processing unit, an optical sensor, the guide bracket does not stretchable cord and an elastic element.

The sensor sends information about the movements of the site is not a stretchable cord processing unit, which in turn performs the calculation of the relative amplitudes of breath and time-frequency characteristics of the breathing process. To link the sensor readings are used to time information on time intervals, recorded by a timer.
