DETECTION OF ASYNCHRONY

摘要

A controller or processor(s) (1112) implements detection of respiratory related conditions, such as asynchrony, associated with use of a respiratory treatment apparatus (1102) or ventilator. Based on data derived from sensor signals associated with the respiratory treatment, the detector may evaluate a feature set of detection values to determine whether or not an asynchrony occurs in a breath of the patient's respiratory cycle such as by comparing the values against a set of thresholds. Different events may also be identified based on the particular feature set and threshold(s) involved in the detection processing. Automated determination of feature sets may also be implemented to design different asynchrony event classifiers. The methodologies may be implemented by computers or by respiratory treatment apparatus. The detection of such asynchrony events can then also serve as part of control logic for automated adjustments to the control parameters of the respiratory treatment generated by the respiratory treatment apparatus.
