摘要

[Problem] To provide a respiration detection device which is inexpensive, can be favorably fitted, and is highly sensitive. [Solution] A respiration detection device, characterized in comprising: a reference plate (3) fitted onto the abdomen of a subject such that both end parts thereof are supported on the abdomen, with a recess positioned between the two end parts facing the abdomen (A) of the subject; a pressure-receiving plate (4) for receiving pressure (P) from the abdomen, the pressure-receiving plate being disposed within the recess of the reference plate so as to be able to move with respect to the two end parts, and abutting against the abdomen; and a pressure sensor (5) for detecting pressure applied to the pressure-receiving plate from the abdomen, the pressure sensor being interposed between the reference plate and the pressure-receiving plate.
