Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for modifying sympathetic activation of a patient through alteration of respiratory function. In one form, a sub-apneic ventilation target for a ventilator is determined such that chronic sympathetic activation of the patient is mitigated.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for determining a sub-apneic ventilation target for a ventilator comprising the steps of: setting a ventilation target to an initial value; monitoring a patient's respiration for a duration; analyzing data representing the patient's respiration to detect events indicating an apneic threshold; if no events are detected, increasing the ventilation target and continue to monitor the patient's respiration for a duration; if events are detected,…
