PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device that can detect sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and automatically and effectively determine an appropriate pressure response.SOLUTION: A method includes the steps of applying a constant treatment pressure during a first session 20 and deriving a sleep disorder index (SDI) 22 representative of the number of SDB episodes that occurred during the first session. If the treatment pressure should be increased based upon the derived SDI, it is increased during a subsequent second session 24. |
