No. The recommended sensors for detection of respiratory effort are calibrated OR uncalibrated inductance plethysmography OR esophageal manometry. As indicated in the supporting review paper, (J Clin Sleep Med 2007; 3:172), piezo belts are not felt to be a satisfactory reflection of respiratory effort. R.6.
