Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2012005859
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a method and device for the provision of positive pressure ventilatory assistance for a patient with sleep disordered breathing.
A snore detection means 22 is a pressure detection means and a microphone 11 is a differential pressure means. Electrical impulses are fed from the microphone 11 to an amplifier/filter/processor unit 26 which generates an electrical signal when snoring sounds occur. The motor speed control means is electrically connected to the snoring detection device 22 and increases the speed of the electric motor 20 by an analog means in response to the electrical signal generated by the snoring detection device. Accordingly, the output pressure of the CPAP unit increases in response to detection of snoring.
