[Medical and technical aspects of using respiration monitoring of patients in clinical practice].

The article shows basic technical principles that have guided the design team ofpatient's respiration monitor. A block scheme of the monitor is showed, an algorithm of its work is described. Results of patient's respiratory function monitoring in postoperative period is discussed and illustrated by characteristic episodes of breathing. Authors describe the proposed method for analyzing the dynamics of respiration in time. Lot of possible steps for the improvement of hardware-software tools of patient's respiration monitor are determined.
