METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DIAGNOSING SLEEP APNEA AND TREATING ACCORDING TO SLEEP APNEA TYPE

摘要

The present invention relates to a sleep apnea diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea type method and apparatus. Sleep apnea diagnosis and treatment device according to the present invention, breathing determination information generation unit for generating a respiratory breathing determination information; Thoracic impedance measuring unit via a plurality of electrodes in contact with the thorax of a patient by applying a high frequency alternating constant current by measuring the change in voltage corresponding to change in volume within the thorax due to breathing to generate the impedance information volume; A first magnetic pole body portion to an electrical stimulation input to the first body part of the patient; The second magnetic pole part of the body portion to provide any stimulus to the second body part of the patient; And determining whether the subject of the apnea by using the respiratory breathing determination information and impedance volume information, if diagnosed in apnea the first part of the body corresponding to apnea type magnetic pole portion, at least any of the second body part magnetic pole portion It is configured to include a diagnostic and therapeutic indicating a stimulation output to one. Thus, by the invention, as well as diagnosis of whether or not apnea it is possible to appropriate treatment according to the type of apnea. ; Apnea, stimulation, oxygen saturation, sleep apnea
