HUMIDIFICATION SYSTEM WITH SIGNAL TRANSMISSION OPTIMIZATION

摘要

A pressure support device configured to provide pressure support therapy includes a humidifier that holds an enhanced amount of liquid without significantly mitigating sensitivity of respiratory event detection. The humidifier includes a chamber configured to hold liquid, and a partition that divides the chamber such that the volume of the chamber through which a flow of gas generated by the pressure support device flows is reduced. The reduction in the volume of the chamber through which the flow of gas flows preserves respiratory event detection sensitivity.
