APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING CONTINUOUS POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE |
摘要 |
A pressure support system and method in which a gas flow generating system provides a continuous flow of breathing gas at selectable pressure levels. A patient circuit and interface communicate the continuous flow of breathing gas to the airway of a patient. A controller causes the gas flow generating system to provide the continuous flow of breathing gas to the patient at a first pressure level P1 in an initial therapy session. Thereafter, the pressure level of the continuous flow of breathing gas is increased from the first pressure level P1 to a final pressure level P2 over a first predetermined number D of days. More specifically, in one embodiment, the pressure level is incrementally increased by a predetermined incremental amount DELTAp after n therapy sessions taking place on separate days over this first predetermined number D of days. As a result, the current therapy pressure in each therapy session that takes place on separate days following the initial therapy session is incrementally and automatically increased. |
