More Information
Summary:A detection appliance and a method detect and evaluate a measuring signal that is indicative of breathing of a sleeping person, in connection with the observation of sleep-related breathing disorders. Instruments also detect signals that are indicative of breathing of a patient. The aim provides solutions that enable a reliable examination in terms of occurrence of sleep-related sleeping disorders, in the usual surroundings of the person concerned. In a first form, a mobile detection appliance is provided with a sensor device for detecting a nasal flow signal indicative of a nasal respiratory gas flow, and/or a respiratory flow signal indicative of an oral respiratory gas flow, in addition to an electronic data processing unit comprising a memory device and processing the signals indicative of temporal course of the nasal and oral respiration. The data processing device is configured to store data indicative of temporal course of the respiratory flow signals.
