METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT A SIGNAL-PROCESSING VIEWING OF A MEASUREMENT SIGNAL THAT IS CORRELATED TO THE RESPIRATORY ACTIVITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL
The invention relates to a method and device for carrying out a signal-processing viewing of a measurement signal that is correlated with the respiratory activity of an individual, for example, of a measurement signal that is correlated with the respiratory gas. The aim of the invention is to provide solutions with which an improved electronic analysis of the signals that are representative with regard to respiratory activity can be achieved. To this end, the invention provides that viewing results are obtained within the scope of a signal-processing viewing of said measurement signal and make a differentiation between obstructive and central respiratory disorders possible. The viewing results are determined, in particular, while taking into account changes of selected breathing characteristics such as, for example, the change in the ratio of inhalation time to exhalation time.
1 . A method of carrying out signal-processing consideration of a measurement signal related to the respiration activity of a person, in particular for matching pressure regulation in the administration of a breathable gas at a pressure level which at least in phase-wise manner is above the ambient pressure, wherein the context of signal-processing consideration of the measurement signal indicative of the respiratory gas flow evaluation results are generated, which permit differentiation between obstructive and central breathing disorders.
