Article Abstract
The current noninvasive method for respiratory monitoring is respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP); two bands are connected, one each to the chest and the abdomen, to measure the breathing pattern. RIP requires post hoc analysis to calculate indices such as respiratory rate, phase angle, labored breathing index, and percent of rib cage contribution to breathing. Clinical studies have provided patient RIP values and age-matched normal values, but they lack global evaluation of normative data for a wide age range of pediatric subjects. Herein, we compiled normative RIP indices from numerous studies for a large range of pediatric ages. From these data, we derived regression equations useful for computing normal RIP parameters as a function of age. The presented review will provide caregivers the ability to compare RIP data of pediatric patients against the regression analysis. This comparison will help identify patients with pulmonary complications and aid in guiding respiratory therapy.

Estimating Lung Volume During Cough: A Comparison of Respiratory Calibration Tasks and Methodologies.
J Speech Lang Hear Res
September 2025
Department of Biobehavioral Sciences, Teachers College, Columbia University, New York City.
Purpose: Effective cough function requires sufficient respiratory support. To estimate lung volume, respiratory inductance plethysmography measures circumferential changes of the rib cage (RC) and abdomen (AB) during various behaviors, such as coughing. During speech breathing, the accuracy of these estimates is influenced by calibration tasks and analysis methods.

Background: Respiratory dysfunction is a recognised but underexplored feature of Parkinson's Disease. Understanding underlying mechanisms and their possible impact on breathing patterns is crucial to endeavours to improve respiratory morbidity and mortality associated with Parkinson's Disease.
Objective: This study explored perceived dyspnoea and resting tidal breathing patterns in Parkinson's Disease compared to healthy controls.
Unravelling Sleep Apnea Dynamics: Quantifying Loop Gain Using Dynamical Modelling of Ventilatory Control.

July 2025
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, United States.
Study Objectives: Loop gain (LG) is a critical parameter for assessing ventilatory control stability in sleep apnea, with implications for personalized treatment. Existing LG estimation methods are hindered by complex processing and specialized equipment, limiting clinical applicability. This study aims to develop an automated method to quantify LG from respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) signals to enhance precision management of sleep apnea.

Aim: During perinatal transition, breathing effort in preterm infants is largely inefficient. In the current study, we assessed the feasibility of synchronised non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (S-NIPPV) in very preterm infants as primary respiratory support in the delivery room.
Methods: Single-center prospective feasibility study at Tübingen University Hospital.

Introduction: While breathing is essential for infant speech development, it has neither been extensively studied empirically nor been included in theories of speech acquisition. In this brief report, we explored the co-development of respiratory and vocal control longitudinally in an infant from 7;15 to 9;15 months of age. We focused on this period because it usually coincides with the emergence of canonical babbling which may go hand in hand with changes in infants' laryngeal-oral-respiratory coordination.
