TITRATION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR COMPLICATED PATIENTS AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF

A titration support system/method (100) for a positive air pressure (PAP) device, including: at least an EIT sensor to: determine whether the it is coupled to skin; establish communication with at least one controller (120, 190, 194) when determining that the external sensor (114) is coupled to the...

Zusammenfassung:A titration support system/method (100) for a positive air pressure (PAP) device, including: at least an EIT sensor to: determine whether the it is coupled to skin; establish communication with at least one controller (120, 190, 194) when determining that the external sensor (114) is coupled to the skin of the user; sense a physiological parameter of the user and form corresponding sensor information; determine whether cardiac output is diminished based upon the sensor information; and transmit the sensor information including an indication of whether the cardiac output is diminished to the at least one controller to: control therapeutic air assist to the user; receive the information from the external sensor; determine whether the information comprises the indication that the cardiac output is diminished; and begin auto titration to restore the cardiac output to homeopathic levels in response to determining that the cardiac output is diminished.
