Embodiment Construction

[0014] As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" include plural reference unless expressly stated otherwise. As used herein, the statement that two or more parts or components are "coupled" means that these parts are directly or indirectly (ie, through one or more intermediate parts or components) joined together or operate together whenever a connection occurs. As used herein, "directly coupled" means that two elements are in direct contact with each other. As used herein, "fixedly coupled" or "fixed" means that two components are coupled so as to move as one while maintaining a constant orientation relative to each other.

[0015] The word "unitary" as used herein means that a component is produced as a single piece or unit. That is, a component comprising pieces that are created separately and then joined together as a unit is not a "unitary" component or body. As used herein, the statement that two or more parts or components "engage" one another means that ...

Abstract

Methods and systems of respiratory therapy treat sleep apnea by specific elevated pressure levels during the final period of the exhalation phase. The inspiratory pressure level can thus be significantly reduced and on average lower than the expiratory pressure level.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is related to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 244,113, filed July 9, 2009, entitled "SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENTRAINING THE BREATHING OF ASUBJECT." All related applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety into this application. [0003] field of invention [0004] The present invention relates to a system and method for the treatment of sleep disorder breathing, and in particular for the treatment of sleep apnea by means of flow-limited breathing therapy. Background technique [0005] The treatment of sleep apnea by means of respiratory therapy, particularly conventional constant positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, is well known. Adherence to treatment is often a challenge due to the discomfort that some patients may experience with traditional therapies. Specifically, for some patients, breathing may feel uncomfortable and / or unnatural when using significant ...
