Abstract
We measured the signal-to-motion-artifact ratio for ten paediatric/inf ant electrodes for infant apnoea monitoring. Electrodes that have good stability, strong adhesion, low face-to-face impedance, low transthor acic-plus-electrode impedance, large effective area, and large total a rea are optimal for impedance pneumography. The gel make-up may also a ffect optimality.
