Positive airway pressure system and method for treatment of sleeping disorder in patient

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Described is a positive airway pressure system for delivering a flow of breathable , gas at a positive treatment pressure to a patient's airways to assist in treating a sleeping , disorder. The system comprises a flow generator which supplies a positive treatment , pressure flow of breathable gases. A flow sensor measures data corresponding to the flow , of gases. A processing arrangement receives and analyzes the measured data to determine , the patient's breathing patterns determines whether to alter the pressure supplied by the , generator based on the breathing patterns delays the onset of a pressure , increase when the patient is in an awake state wherein the delay lasts at …
