SYSTEMS AND/OR METHODS FOR CALIBRATION-LESS DEVICES OR LESS EXPENSIVE CALIBRATION DEVICES FOR TREATING SLEEP-DISORDERED BREATHING

摘要

Systems and/or methods for treating sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) are provided. In particular, systems and/or methods are provided that include software systems for use with auto-titrating devices (e.g. APAP devices) that reduce and/or eliminate the need to calibrate the auto-titrating devices. The software system also may reduce and/or eliminate the need for certain sensors used in such calibrations. Certain example embodiments compute snore based on noises measured during expiration and inspiration, and certain example embodiments set patient leak utilizing the vent flow level. Certain example embodiments change treatment pressure thresholds after measuring patient improvement by monitoring a variable correlated with actual delivery pressure in accordance with an example embodiment, and certain example embodiments provide pressure according to motor speed in accordance with an example embodiment.
