METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO MANAGE CENTRAL SLEEP APNEA BY CONTROLLING ACCUMULATED RETROGRADE VOLUME

摘要

Methods and systems to treat Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) and/or central sleep apnea (CSA) include monitoring retrograde breathing and detecting respiratory events. Based on the occurrences of certain respiratory events, a target volume of rebreathing is adjusted to reduce arousals as well as CSR/CSA.
