Abstract: “Respiratory rate measurement is one of the preliminary diagnostic parameter in clinical practice. The ratio of respiratory rate to that of heart rate is indicative of the health condition of the subject. However in cases where the respiratory disorders occur due to impairment of the respiratory centre in the brain, the analysis of the pattern of breathing becomes a must. This proposed work focuses on detection of normal and Cheyne - Stokes respiration which is periodic and provide a complete report based on the parameter.”
