About the study
This study will clinically evaluate a newly developed respiratory monitor - pneuRIP. The pneuRIP uses Respiratory Inductance Plethysmography (RIP) bands to measure key breathing indices non-invasively. This study compares the pneuRIP to an existing Respitrace system (Carefusion, Yorba Linda CA). 10 normal children and 10 children with breathing difficulties will be monitored with both systems.
What is being tested
- pneuRIP (breathing with resistance) (device)
- Respitrace system (Carefusion) (breathing without resistance) (device)
