The present invention discloses the diagnosis and treatment of breathing disorders in sleeping and waking subjects. An electrical device is described which may be used for monitoring and processing of a diaphragmatic electromyogram signal as an indicator of inspiratory effort. Some sleep disorders manifest themselves with an increased inspiratory effort. This invention improves upon the current use of diaphragmatic electromyogram signals in the diagnosis of sleep disorders by effectively eliminating concomitant electrocardiogram signals. The electrical device also comprises a system for monitoring and recording of data by a patient (i.e., at home) such that a breathing disorder may be later diagnosed by a clinician.

L'invention concerne le diagnostic et le traitement de troubles respiratoires chez des sujets endormis ou éveillés. Un dispositif électrique peut être utilisé pour surveiller et traiter un signal d'électromyogramme diaphragmatique comme un indicateur d'un effort inspiratoire. Certains troubles du sommeil se manifestent par un effort inspiratoire accru. La présente invention constitue une amélioration par rapport à l'utilisation actuelle des signaux d'électromyogramme diaphragmatiques dans le diagnostic des troubles du sommeil en ceci qu'elle permet d'éliminer efficacement les signaux d'électrocardiogramme concomitants. Ledit dispositif électrique comprend également un système permettant de surveiller et d'enregistrer des données d'un patient (par exemple, à domicile), de sorte qu'un trouble respiratoire puisse être diagnostiqué ultérieurement par un clinicien.
