Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTINUOUS MANAGEMENT OF AIRWAY PRESSURE FOR DETECTION AND/OR PREDICTION OF RESPIRATORY FAILURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/093177
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
Various embodiments are described herein for a controller for controlling the operation of a breathing assistance device that provides breathing assistance to a user. The controller comprises a processor that generates a respiratory index value that is determined during a current monitoring time period to detect a respiratory failure, or predict the respiratory failure when at least one PSG signal is measured. The respiratory index value is compared to a threshold to determine if the control signal needs to be updated to reduce or eliminate respiratory failure that the user is currently experiencing or to prevent a predicted respiratory failure from occurring.
