    Abstract: Methods and/or apparatuses for treating sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) are provided. In particular, systems and/or methods are provided which may temporarily boost the pressure of a supply of breathable gas provided by an AutoSet device for the treatment of hypopnea. In certain example embodiments, a supply of breathable is provided to patients to treat apneas and/or hypopneas. The presence and/or absence of apneas and/or hypopneas are detected (e.g. by monitoring the Apnea-Hypopnea Index). When hypopnea events are detected, the pressure of the supply of breathable gas temporarily is increased above the Pcrit and/or CPAP levels, at least during patient inspiration. When the hypopnea events are normalized, the pressure is reduced. In certain example embodiments, the pressure will not be increased when a non-hypopnea event is detected at the same time as a hypopnea event.

    Abstract: A nasal mask assembly includes a relatively flexible cushion arrangement including a cushion that provides a breathing chamber and a face-contacting portion to form a seal around the patient's nose in use, an inlet tube supported by the cushion to deliver breathable gas into the breathing chamber for breathing by the patient, and three support members extending outwardly from the cushion. A relatively rigid frame is provided to a front side of the cushion arrangement. The frame includes three headgear attachment structures. Headgear includes three headgear straps engagable with the three support members and the three headgear attachment structures to maintain the cushion arrangement in a desired position on the patient's face.
