Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) is the most common form of Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) and it is estimated to affect approximately 15% of US adult population. In this paper, we report on the results of in vivo experiments of an ultrasonic device for the non-invasive detection of obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea (OSAH). A description of the ultrasonic system used is presented, followed by the results of a full night sleep study. The findings show a significant difference in the spectral features extracted from the received ultrasonic waveform during apneic breathing, compared to the hyperventilation that follows. Therefore, the findings indicate the feasibility of developing an ultrasonic detection device for low cost diagnosis of SDB. |
