Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Most positive airway pressure devices blow a constant stream of pressurized air into the airway. Variable positive airway pressure (VPAP) or bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP). This is a newer type of machine that lowers the amount of pressure when a person breathes out.

Snoring detection system and method
Systems and methods provide for detecting snoring, and for determining the presence of sleep disordered breathing using detected snoring. Snoring indicative signals generated by one or more patient-internal or external sensors are detected. The presence of sleep disordered breathing is algorithmically determined, patient-internally or externally, using the snoring signals. Algorithmically determining presence of sleep disordered breathing may include computing a snoring index developed from the detected snoring. Sleep apnea may be detected using the snoring index. Sleep apnea may be verified using internal or external sensors. A positive airway pressure device may operate cooperatively to verify and treat sleep disordered breathing.

Airway monitoring apparatus 30 includes a driver 6 for applying sound in the audible frequency range to the airway of a subject and a detector 7 for monitoring the response of the airway, e.g. by detecting transmitted sound signal components and / or reflected sound signal components. Variations in the detected sound signal, e.g. energy, due to attenuation of the signal, give an indication of the state of the airway, e.g. airway patency, and can be used to monitor sleep-disordered breathing events, such as apnea and hypopnea, and to provide a breathing event index, e.g. AHI. The apparatus may provide servo-control for a respiratory assist device, such as a positive airway pressure device, so as to provide an appropriate pressure level setting. It may allow for home use of such devices and for home titration. It may also assist in discriminating central and obstructive breathing events, and in providing a measure of airway resistance.

Impeller for a wearable positive airway pressure device
A method for increasing output pressure of a blower unit in a Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) device, the blower unit having a blower rotatable about an axis of rotation. The method includes the steps of ingesting air into the blower unit, successively accelerating the ingested air in a direction substantially radial to the axis of rotation and a direction substantially parallel to the axis of rotation for generating a flow of compressed air; and exhausting the accelerated air from the blower unit. A PAP device with the improved blower generates increased air pressure compared to prior art devices or produces at least the same air pressure at a reduced size.
