Neonatal respiratory distress is a common condition that if left untreated,
can lead to short- and long-term complications. This paper investigates the
usage of digital stethoscope recorded chest sounds taken within 1min
post-delivery, to enable early detection and prediction of neonatal respiratory
distress. Fifty-one term newborns were included in this study, 9 of whom
developed respiratory distress. For each newborn, 1min anterior and posterior
recordings were taken. These recordings were pre-processed to remove noisy
segments and obtain high-quality heart and …
