Simultaneous measurement of diaphragm activity, chest impedance, and ECG using three standard cardiorespiratory monitoring electrodes

Current cardiorespiratory monitoring in neonates with electrocardiogram (ECG) and chest impedance (CI) has limitations. Adding transcutaneous electromyography of the diaphragm (dEMG) may improve respiratory monitoring, but requires additional hardware. We aimed to determine the feasibility of measuring dEMG and ECG/CI simultaneously using the standard ECG/CI hardware, with its three electrodes repositioned to dEMG electrode locations.
