SYSTEM FOR SELECTION OF STIMULATION PROTOCOL BASED ON RESULT OF SENSED RESPIRATORY EFFORT

摘要

To provide an implantable pulse generator for treating obstructive sleep apnea.SOLUTION: A stimulation protocol determination system (74) includes an input module (76) and a selector module (78). The input module receives an indication of an upper airway flow limitation via sensed respiratory effort (82) information. The selection module automatically selects a stimulation protocol (86) on the basis of the indication of the upper airway flow limitation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1B
