Apparatus and method for determining the severity of sleep apnea

摘要

Device and method for determining the severity of sleep apnea by means of electroencephalography and electromyography, the device comprising a headgear (10) with a head part (12) which covers the head of a patient at least at the points where the measuring points C3 and C4 of the electroencephalography lie, and with a chin part (14), wherein the head part (12) has two electrodes (16) for detecting EEG signals of electroencephalography at the electroencephalography sites C3 and C4 and the chin part (14) has at least one electrode (18) for detecting the Have electromyography EMG signals on the chin.
