The respiratory response of the neonate to an acoustic stimulus is analysed. It is shown that a response may be indicated by (i) a change in the mean cycle time, (ii) a change in the variability of cycle times, (iii) short or long cycles in the sound-on-period following a regular sequence prior to the stimulus. Responses were found to be independent of the pre-stimulus mean cycle time and variability subject to certain restriction. Decision rules are formulated and applied to the Auditory Response Cradle test results. Good agreement is found between statistical and visual methods of trace analysis.
对新生儿对听觉刺激的呼吸反应进行了分析。结果表明，反应可能表现为：（i）平均周期时间的变化；（ii）周期时间变异性的变化；（iii）在刺激前按规则序列出现的声音开启期内的短周期或长周期。发现反应与刺激前的平均周期时间和变异性无关，但有一定限制。制定了决策规则并应用于听觉反应摇篮测试结果。在统计分析和视觉分析方法之间发现了良好的一致性。
