Continuous EMG Measurements in Children With Asthma During Sleep

Medisch Spectrum Twente20 enrolled

Overview

The objective of this study is to investigate whether electromyography of the diaphragm during sleep in asthmatic children can be used to objectively monitor asthma control.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Breathing registration in sleep using electromyography

Amplitude of the EMG signal will be used to obtain breathing waveforms.

Time frame: From admittance to the ward, up to 12 hours

Secondary Outcomes

Prediction of asthma exacerbations

A machine learning model will be applied to be able to predict an asthma exacerbation before it occurs

Time frame: After inclusion of all subjects, up to 3 months
