ABSTRACT:
For controlling a respirator for treatment of sleep apnea, a patient's oscillatory pressure amplitude, which corresponds to a patient's breathing resistance is continuously measured, and the individual breathing resistance value (base value) of a patient's pressure amplitude is determined, by oscilloresistometry (oscillatory resistance measuring=ORM). If deviations from this base value occur, the patient is supplied with respiratory gas under pressure and the gas supply is terminated or minimized as soon as the base value is again reached or almost reached.
