Heart Rate Variability to Automatically Identify Hyperbaric States Considering Respiratory Component
Resumen: This study’s primary objective was to identify individuals whose physiological responses deviated from the rest of the study population by automatically monitoring atmospheric pressure levels to which they are exposed and using parameters derived from their heart rate variability (HRV). To achieve this, 28 volunteers were placed in a dry hyperbaric chamber, where they experienced varying pressures from 1 to 5 atmospheres, with five sequential stops lasting five minutes each at different atmospheric pressures. The HRV was dissected into two components: the respiratory component, which is linked to respiration; and the residual component, which is influenced by factors beyond respiration. Nine parameters were assessed, including the respiratory rate, four classic HRV temporal parameters, and four frequency parameters. A k-nearest neighbors classifier based on cosine distance successfully identified the atmospheric pressures to which the subjects were exposed to. The classifier achieved an 88.5% accuracy rate in distinguishing between the 5 atm and 3 atm stages using only four features: respiratory rate, heart rate, and two frequency parameters associated with the subjects’ sympathetic responses. Furthermore, the study identified 6 out of 28 subjects as having atypical responses across all pressure levels when compared to the majority. Interestingly, two of these subjects stood out in terms of gender and having less prior diving experience, but they still exhibited normal responses to immersion. This suggests the potential for establishing distinct safety protocols for divers based on their previous experience and gender.
