| Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to an apparatus for determining a respiration rate of a subject. A pressure signal providing unit provides a measured pressure signal of a subject over a time, wherein the measured pressure signal is indicative of blood pulsations and comprises a plurality of pressure pulses, and a processor determines, for a respective pressure pulse of the plurality of pressure pulses 9, a respective dicrotic notch position and determines the respiration rate based on the dicrotic notch positions determined for the plurality of pressure pulses 9. This allows for a very accurate determination of the respiration rate. |
