    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.

    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: 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.
