ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE WITH DIAGNOSTIC MEANS FOR RESPIRATORY DISORDERS, WITH IMPROVED DETECTION OF ARTIFACT BREATHING CYCLES

摘要

P This device comprises transthoracic impedance measuring means, delivering an impedance signal varying with the respiratory activity of the patient. A signal representative of the respiratory activity of the patient is delivered from the impedance signal, and a respiratory disorder diagnostic means analyzes the variations of the respiratory signal over a plurality of successive cycles to detect a predetermined variation profile in relation thereto. with a given breathing disorder. This device further comprises means for automatically detecting artefacted respiratory cycles, able to identify in the impedance signal a static impedance jump, and / or to identify in a respiratory cycle or a sequence of respiratory cycles a representative predetermined singularity. of an artifact cycle. / P
