The present invention relates to an automatic respiration system (1) involving positive airway pressure. The inventive device (1) comprises equipment (2) for measuring the breathing gas flow and comparing it with a threshold value. Further equipment (3) is provided for screening any obstructive respiratory impairment. An assessment unit (4) is provided for assessing the measurement values and determines whether it is a case of normal breathing or obstructive respiratory impairment or non obstructive respiratory impairment. Depending on the results provided by the assessment unit (4), the positive airway pressure is either maintained or modified. According to the invention, the breathing gas flow as well as the obstruction of the respiratory tract are continuously measured, thereby enabling the positive airway pressure to be individually adjusted to various states of the patient.

La présente invention porte sur un système (1) de respiration automatisée par pression positive expiratoire. Le dispositif (1) comporte un appareillage (2) qui mesure le flux du mélange respiratoire et le compare avec une valeur seuil. Par ailleurs, un appareillage (3) est prévu pour déceler des troubles respiratoires obstructifs. Un dispositif d'évaluation (4) évalue les résultats des mesures et détermine si l'on est en présence d'une respiration normale, d'un trouble respiratoire obstructif ou d'un trouble respiratoire non obstructif. En fonction des résultats du système d'évaluation (4), la pression positive expiratoire est soit maintenue soit modifiée. L'avantage de l'invention réside dans le fait que le flux du mélange respiratoire ainsi que l'obstruction des voies respiratoires sont constamment mesurés et que la pression positive expiratoire peut être adaptée à divers états du patient, pris individuellement.
