Development of a noncontact and long-term respiration monitoring system using microwave radar for hibernating black bear
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.20229.abs The aim of this study is to develop a prototype system for noncontact, noninvasive and unconstrained vital sign monitoring using microwave radar and to use the system to measure the respiratory rate of a Japanese black bear (Ursus thibetanus japonicus) during hibernation for ensuring the bear’s safety. Ueno Zoological Gardens in Tokyo planned […]
Respiratory pattern in awake rats: Effects of motor activity and of alerting stimuli
Our aim was to assess the impact of motor activity and of arousing stimuli on respiratory rate in the awake rats. The study was performed in male adult Sprague–Dawley (SD, n = 5) and Hooded Wistar (HW, n = 5) rats instrumented for ECG telemetry. Respiratory rate was recorded using whole-body plethysmograph, with a piezoelectric […]
