CA 2484929

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for detecting and monitoring obstructive sleep apnea. The apparatus includes an intracardiac impedance sensor to measure intracardiac impedance, a movement sensor to measure an amount of movement of a patient, and a controller operatively coupled to said intracardiac impedance sensor and said movement sensor, said controller adapted to receive at least one of an intracardiac impedance and the amount of movement of the patient and detect obstructive sleep apnea based upon said intracardiac impedance and said movement.

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de détection et de surveillance de l'apnée obstructive. L'appareil comprend un capteur d'impédance intracardiaque permettant de mesurer l'impédance intracardiaque, un capteur de mouvement permettant de mesurer une quantité de mouvement chez un patient et un contrôleur couplé de manière opérationnelle audit capteur d'impédance intracardiaque et audit capteur de mouvement. Ledit contrôleur est apte à recevoir au moins une impédance intracardiaque et la quantité de mouvement du patient et apte à détecter l'apnée obstructive d'après l'impédance intracardiaque et le mouvement réalisé.
