. DISCUSSION In the present study we compared the ∫P exp extracted from respiratory movement by dynamic air-pressure sensor to TV exp for each expiration in each subject. We found a strong correlation between ∫P exp and TV exp . The results showed that the dynamic air-pressure sensor was useful in monitoring the respiratory status of the clothed patient noninvasively and nonrestrictively. The dynamic air-pressure sensor was developed to record respiratory effort noninvasively. This device is characterized by the fact that its sensor pad is set in place

The relationship between TVexp (the expiratory tidal volume) and ∫Pexp (the time integration values of pressure fluctuations extracted from respiratory movement by dynamic air-pressure sensor) for each subject. A strong correlation between TVexp and ∫Pexp was observed for all subjects.
