Abstract

Background: the optimal period over which respiratory rate should be measured is uncertain.

Setting: medical ward of low resource Ugandan hospital, Methods: comparison of the first respiratory rates measured on admission over seconds using a smartphone application with measurements over 15 minutes using a piezoelectric device.

Results: There was a poor correlation between respiratory rates measured by the piezoelectric device and rates measured by a smartphone application. Although the discrimination for mortality of piezoelectric respiratory rates were slightly higher than those derived from the application, there were not statistically significant differences.

Conclusion: this study could not demonstrate potential clinical benefits that justify measuring the first respiratory rate after admission over 15 minutes by a device.

入院时应使用智能手机应用程序测量几秒钟的呼吸频率，还是使用压电设备测量 15 分钟的呼吸频率？一项针对乌干达一家资源匮乏医院急诊病人的前瞻性观察试验研究。

背景：测量呼吸频率的最佳时间尚不确定。环境：乌干达资源匮乏医院的内科病房。方法：比较入院时使用智能手机应用程序测量的首次呼吸频率（秒）与使用压电装置测量的 15 分钟呼吸频率：结果：压电装置测量的呼吸频率与智能手机应用程序测量的呼吸频率之间的相关性很差。尽管压电呼吸频率的死亡率分辨力略高于应用软件得出的结果，但两者之间的差异在统计学上并不显著。结论：本研究无法证明潜在的临床益处，无法证明有理由使用设备测量入院后 15 分钟内的首次呼吸频率。
