    摘要: Systems and/or methods for treating sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) are provided. In particular, systems and/or methods are provided that include software systems for use with auto-titrating devices (e.g. APAP devices) that reduce and/or eliminate the need to calibrate the auto-titrating devices. The software system also may reduce and/or eliminate the need for certain sensors used in such calibrations. Certain example embodiments compute snore based on noises measured during expiration and inspiration, and certain example embodiments set patient leak utilizing the vent flow level. Certain example embodiments change treatment pressure thresholds after measuring patient improvement by monitoring a variable correlated with actual delivery pressure in accordance with an example embodiment, and certain example embodiments provide pressure according to motor speed in accordance with an example embodiment.

    摘要: A CPAP treatment apparatus, as one form of positive pressure ventilatory assistance, includes a turbine/blower, operated by a mechanically coupled electrical motor that receives air or breathable gas at an inlet thereof, and supplies the breathable gas at a delivery pressure to a delivery tube/hose having a connection at the other end thereof with a nose mask. A microcontroller has an operational “Mask-Fit” mode. An initial constant pressure level is applied by the blower to the mask. If the functional mode is a manual mode, then the mask-fit test pressure is the current ‘set’ pressure. If the functional mode is the automatic titration mode, the mask-fit test pressure is the 95th percentile pressure of the previous session, otherwise it is the base treatment pressure, e.g. 10-12 cm H2O. This constant pressure is applied for a period of time, typically 1-3 minutes. The microcontroller continuously determines mask leak as the value, fLEAK, from a flow sensor, comparing this to a threshold, and providing the patent with a visual indication of degree of leak. In this way the patient can manipulate the mask to ensure correct fitting as indicated by the appropriate message or indication.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for determining airflow through a PAP device while applying PAP therapy. The actual speed of a blower 6 is measured. The desired motor current IDES required for the actual speed to approach or maintain a desired speed is used, together with the actual speed RPM ACT, in a flow estimation algorithm to determine flow through the PAP device. The estimation algorithm consists of a two-dimensional look-up table, where the inputs are the desired motor current and actual motor speed, and the output is the flow through the PAP device.
