Respiratory monitoring

Respiratory monitoring is like having your big brother or sister check on you while you're sleeping to make sure you're breathing properly.

You know how you breathe in air through your nose or mouth and then push it out through your mouth again? That's called breathing. When we sleep, sometimes our bodies forget to breathe properly or we might have a problem with our lungs that makes it hard to breathe.

When grown-ups want to make sure they're breathing properly at night, they might use a machine that listens to the noise we make when we breathe. It's like a big ear that listens to the sound of our breathing. If it hears something funny, like we're not breathing enough or we're breathing too fast, it will let the grown-ups know so they can help us breathe better.

That's what respiratory monitoring is all about. It's a way for grown-ups to keep an eye on our breathing so they can make sure we're healthy, happy, and breathing easy so we can wake up feeling refreshed and ready for a new day!
