CA 2430775

Methods and apparatus for assessing the condition of and treating patients for stroke during the delivery of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) are disclosed. By determining central and obstructive apnea occurrences or the percentile of pressure delivered to the patient from patient airflow, stroke indicators may be calculated and analyzed to provide information on the type of stroke a patient has suffered and the degree of a patient's neuro-recovery. The apparatus may be programmed with a particular protocol intended to identify between alternative forms of CPAP treatment appropriate for the patient based upon an assessment of the patient's condition. The device can select and recommend between the various treatment forms, identify billing reimbursement codes and generate data to track patient response to stroke treatments.

L'invention concerne des procédés et un appareil pour évaluer l'état de patients et traiter l'attaque chez ces derniers pendant l'administration d'une pression positive continue dans les voies aériennes. Par la détermination des occurrences d'apnée centrale et obstructive ou du percentile de la pression administrée au patient à partir du flux d'air, des indicateurs d'attaque peuvent être calculés et analysés, de manière que soient fournies des informations sur le type d'attaque subie par un patient et sur le degré de récupération neurologique du patient. Ledit appareil peut être programmé avec un protocole particulier destiné à identifier la forme de traitement par pression positive dans les voies aériennes parmi les formes alternatives appropriées au patient, en fonction d'une évaluation de l'état du patient. Le dispositif peut sélectionner et recommander une forme de traitement parmi plusieurs, identifier les codes de remboursement de facture et générer des données permettant le suivi de la réponse du patient aux traitement de l'attaque.
