20080302364 | System and Method for Treating Ventilatory Instability - A therapy system adapted to treat a patient's ventilatory instability using a ventilatory therapy, a gas modulation therapy, or both. The algorithm implemented by the therapy system monitors the ventilatory instability, such as Cheyne Stokes Respiration (CSR), mixed apneas, CPAP emergent apneas, and complex sleep disordered breathing (CSDB) and treats the ventilatory instability. The algorithm also determine a reference point with respect to the ventilatory instability. The therapy delivery system initiate the treatment based on the reference point. | 12-11-2008 |

20130133654 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A PRESSURIZED FLOW OF BREATHABLE GAS TO THE AIRWAY OF A SUBJECT WITH STOCHASTIC FLUCTUATIONS - A pressurized flow of breathable gas is delivered to the airway of a subject to facilitate respiration by the subject. To enhance the effectiveness of the pressurized flow of breathable gas, stochastic fluctuations in the level of pressure at or near the airway of the subject are created. These stochastic fluctuations mimic similar oscillations present in so-called “bubble CPAP” systems. Since these stochastic fluctuations are intended to maintain the openness of the airway of the subject, and not to drive ventilation, these fluctuations tend to have a higher frequency and/or lower magnitude than changes in pressure that drive ventilation. | 05-30-2013 |
20130133655 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING SUB-PHYSIOLOGIC AND PHYSIOLOGIC TIDAL VOLUMES IN SPONTANEOUS OR NON-SPONTANEOUS BREATHING DURING HIGH FREQUENCY VENTILATION - A method of providing high frequency ventilation to a patient, comprises delivering a flow of breathing gas to the patient, the flow of breathing gas having a first positive pressure level and a second positive pressure level, the first and second positive pressure levels alternating with one another in a plurality of cycles in the flow of breathing gas to have a frequency and an amplitude, the flow of breathing gas to the patient generating a mean airway pressure; determining whether the patient is breathing spontaneously or is trying to breath spontaneously; and, in response to the determination that the patient is breathing spontaneously or trying to breath spontaneously or according to the user settings for HFV and user intervention for non-spontaneous breathing patient, adjusting the mean airway pressure, modulating the frequency and duty cycle of the flow of breathing gas, or modulating the level of flow and pressure amplitude of the breathing gas, or two or more thereof. | 05-30-2013 |

20130312754 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CUSTOMIZABLE AUTOMATED CONTROL OF FRACTION OF INSPIRED OXYGEN AND/OR POSITIVE END EXPIRATORY PRESSURE TO MAINTAIN OXYGENATION - A pressurized flow of breathable gas is delivered to the airway of a subject in accordance with a therapy regimen. The therapy regimen may be designed to maintain oxygenation of the subject. The therapy regimen dictates levels of fraction of inspired oxygen and/or positive end expiratory pressure to maintain a therapeutically beneficial level of oxygenation in a feedback manner. Within the therapy regimen, changes made to fraction of inspired oxygen and/or positive end expiratory pressure automatically and dynamically are constrained by user configured constraints such as the maximum incremental change, amount of time between adjustments, or the maximum rate of change This may provide a level of customization of the automated control of the therapy regime for individual subjects. | 11-28-2013 |
