ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for treating sleep disorder breathing is disclosed having improved ability to accurately detect pharyngeal wall vibration or other apneic events. An interface or mask is placed over a patient's airway. The interface is coupled to a source of pressurized gas. A respiration-related variable, namely the total pressure in the interface, is measured or sampled. The respiration-related variable is input into an artificial neural network trained to recognize patterns characterizing sleep disorder breathing. Responsive to recognition by the artificial neural network of sleep disorder breathing, pressurized gas is supplied to the patient's airways through the interface.
