METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING A WORSENING OF THE CARDIO-RESPIRATORY CONDITION OF A PATIENT WITHIN A RESPIRATORY ASSISTANCE DEVICE

摘要

A method and device for detecting a worsening of the cardio-respiratory condition of a patient treated using a respiratory assistance device comprising means for collecting and processing parameters indicative: - of a first parameter indicative of the breathing rate in a first observation window; - of a second parameter indicative of the percentage of cycles initiated by the patient during a second observation window; - of a third parameter indicative of the duration of use of the apparatus during a third observation window. The method is characterized in that it involves detecting a significant variation in one of said parameters over at least two consecutive or non-consecutive days during a consecutive period of n days, where n is strictly greater than 3 and preferably greater than or equal to 5; and, in response to said detection, generating an alert intended for said patient or for a practitioner in order to inform same of a significant risk of worsening of the cardio-respiratory condition of the patient.
