摘要

summary system integrated with a respiratory treatment device and configured to measure airway impedance, and method for measuring an individual's airway impedance using a respiratory tract an individual's airway impedance using a treatment device Respiratory pressure can be measured according to one or more achievements. A conduit is configured to communicate an inspired gas flow and an expired gas flow to and from an individual's airway using the respiratory treatment device. A first valve is disposed within the conduit and configured to alter the exhaled gas flow. one or more sensors are disposed within the conduit and are configured to provide a signal transmitting information associated with one or more characteristics of the gas exhaled by the individual while the exhaled gas flow is altered or not altered by the first valve. An airway impedance monitoring module may be performed by a processor to determine an individual's airway impedance metric based on the information transmitted by the signal provided by one or more sensors.
