Definitions
- the invention relates to a respirator for therapy of sleep apnea according to the preamble of claim 1, in particular an auto-CPAP (CPAP with auto-adjust function), which is suitable for measuring the flow resistance of the respiratory tract of a person or changes in this flow resistance with sufficient accuracy.
- the invention further relates to a method for controlling such a ventilator.
- CPAP Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
- the patient breathes in an artificial atmosphere, which is generated by a CPAP and whose pressure is continuously increased compared to the natural atmosphere.
- the increased pressure prevents a patient's soft upper airways from collapsing when muscle tone fades after falling asleep.
- the airways and especially the airway through the pharynx remain pneumatically, so to speak, which enables the patient to breathe naturally for the patient
- Respiration process can start unhindered. Without using a CPAP, a patient with obstructive sleep apnea can experience numerous (up to several hundred) respiratory arrests in one night. As a result, sleep is no longer relaxing; on the contrary, it becomes an extraordinary burden. The immediate consequences are permanent daytime sleepiness. If the disease remains untherapiert, the life expectancy of the person concerned can be ⁇ siderably shortened. With CPAP therapy it is important to set the therapy pressure as high as necessary and as small as possible. However, since the physical condition is subject to constant changes, a constant therapy pressure is not optimal. Even within one night, in which different sleep phases are experienced, different pressures that are adapted to the different parameters can be advantageous compared to a rigidly preset therapy pressure. Too little pressure causes the symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea to return. Excessive pressure leads to negative side effects, for example the heartbeat volume decreases as a result of the pressure acting on the pericardium from the outside.
- a respiratory arrest can also occur in completely open airways if the breathing regulation center in the brain interrupts spontaneous breathing.
- Such a respiratory arrest triggered by the central nervous system is called central apnea.
- the frequency of central apneas increases with increasing CPAP pressure.
- central apneas are lengthened by increasing the pressure. Only in the case of obstructive apnea does an increase in pressure bring about a return to spontaneous breathing.
- the distinction between an obstructive apnea and a central apnea is therefore of particular importance in an algorithm for controlling an auto-CPAP.
- Obstruction or obstruction of the airway means that the flow resistance on the way from the natural respiratory openings of the mouth or nose into the lungs is great. With central apnea, the airways between the natural airways and the lungs are clear. This also results in a small airway resistance, and only the patient's breathing efforts are missing. The airway resistance is therefore a helpful parameter for distinguishing obstructive apneas from central apneas and important for automatic pressure control in an auto CPAP.
- a method and a device are known from OS 25 08 319, in which the patient breathes in the free atmosphere via a mouthpiece through a reference tube.
- a valveless pump generates a reference flow at a constant frequency, which is fed into the mouthpiece via an inlet hose, the frequency being approximately 10 Hz and the stroke volume being approximately 1.5 cm 3 .
- the alternating pressure generated in the mouthpiece is measured and displayed with a pressure measuring device.
- the length and diameter of the reference pipe are dimensioned so that there is a small impedance for the low-frequency spontaneous breathing and a large impedance for the higher-frequency reference flow.
- the reference flow cannot simply escape into the free atmosphere through the reference tube, which acts as a pneumatic throttle.
- the patient's airways also open into the mouthpiece and can have either a large or a small flow resistance.
- the reference flow in the mouthpiece causes a high alternating pressure.
- the reference flow fed into the mouthpiece escapes through the airways into the lungs and is absorbed there by the body tissue.
- the reference flow in the mouthpiece can only cause a slight alternating pressure.
- the alternating pressure measured with this device correlates quite well with the actual airway resistance, which can be measured with the aid of a body plethysmograph.
- the measured value obtained is generally identified with the index “os” and thus the measured airway resistance as R os (oscillatory measured or oscillatory airway resistance).
- auto-CPAP devices are also known in which the oscillatory breathing resistance is measured with the device described in OS 25 08 319, which is integrated in the breathing therapy device for this purpose.
- These devices use the breathing tube as a reference tube and the breathing mask as a mouthpiece.
- the alternating pressure measured in the respiratory mask is a signal that represents the magnitude of the airway resistance and is evaluated to influence the CPAP pressure.
- Such a device is described in the aforementioned EP 0 705 615 AI.
- the device requires a valve-less pump with which an oscillating reference flow is generated and this pump is an effort which causes additional costs.
- Another disadvantage is that an additional inlet hose is necessary to feed the reference flow into the mouthpiece.
- the object of the invention is to provide a respirator for the therapy of sleep apnea, in which a measurement of the oscillatory airway resistance R os of the human is possible by evaluating the alternating pressure generated in the respiratory mask, in particular during respiratory therapy. Neither an additional valveless pump to generate the reference flow nor an additional one Inlet hose for feeding the reference flow into the breathing mask are used. Furthermore, a method for controlling a ventilator for therapy of sleep apnea is to be specified.
- the elements available in every CPAP without auto-adjust function such as a blower, respiratory mask, breathing tube, pressure measuring tube and pressure sensor, are used by adding additional functions to these elements in a new arrangement.
- necessary elements have been added to the control as electronic function levels or as software solutions.
- the ventilator allows measurement of the
- Airway resistance R os of a patient in particular during therapy with the aid of an auto-CPAP, which contains an electrically operated blower, the speed of which can be changed by, for example, using either the level of a DC supply voltage or the level of the frequency of a three-phase supply voltage for the blower a control signal supplied by a control device or a computer is changed, and which generates a speed-dependent pressure, which is passed via a breathing tube into a patient's breathing mask, the pressure prevailing in the breathing mask being fed to a pressure sensor with the aid of a measuring tube, so that it can be extracted therefrom generates an electrical signal.
- a feature of the invention is that a periodically variable control signal is used to change the level or frequency of the supply voltage, which depends on the type of supply voltage used in each case.
- the control signal is also designed in such a way that the speed of the fan and thus the pressure generated fluctuate with a small amplitude and constant frequency, the fluctuation frequency preferably being in a sound range which is inaudible to humans.
- the electrical signal that the pressure sensor then delivers consists of a DC voltage component, which is proportional to the level of the created artificial atmosphere, an AC voltage component, which is due to the periodic pressure fluctuations, and a possibly existing voltage component, which is caused by very low-frequency or very high-frequency pressure changes can be, for example, the sound of a snoring sound. It is therefore expedient to use a selective amplifier to filter out the AC voltage component that is solely due to the periodic pressure fluctuations. This is a measure of the patient's oscillatory airway resistance R os .
- a smoothed signal voltage can be generated, which can be processed more conveniently by a control device or computer for pressure control purposes and can also be displayed with minimal means.
- a computer can preferably automatically decide with the aid of the program it has entered whether the current therapeutic pressure for treating an obstructive one Sleep apnea should be increased, decreased, or unaffected.
- the advantage here is that the arrangement according to the invention does not require any additional cost-intensive components.
- the device uses only the elements already present in a CPAP and only assigns additional functions to them.
- the fan In addition to the constant pressure, the fan must also generate an alternating pressure.
- An electrically controllable fan is available in every modern CPAP, for example.
- the control signal, which the fan requires in addition to generating the alternating pressure, can be provided by software from the control computer, which is also always present.
- the pressure sensor in a CPAP must also measure an alternating pressure.
- the breathing tube is no longer only used to supply air to the patient, but is also a reference resistor or pneumatic series resistor that converts the blower's alternating pressure into one Converts reference flow into the patient's breathing mask.
- a reference resistor or pneumatic series resistor that converts the blower's alternating pressure into one Converts reference flow into the patient's breathing mask.
- only inexpensive electronic functional stages, a selective amplifier, a rectifier and a filter element are required; and these functional levels can also be implemented inexpensively using software.
- Fig. 3 Signal curves of the pressure in the breathing mask.
- the operating voltage source for the motor 2 consists of two components U CPAP and u ws connected in series and controlled by the computer 3.
- the motor 2 thereby receives a DC supply voltage which is superimposed by a smaller AC supply voltage.
- the pressure of the art atmosphere generated by the blower 1 then also consists of a constant pressure-dependent constant-pressure component which is superimposed by an alternating-pressure component.
- the amplitude of the AC voltage source u W s should be chosen to be as small as possible so that the patient does not perceive the periodic pressure fluctuations that arise. Of course, this type of printing only works when using a motor 2 with extremely high dynamics.
- the flow resistances of the breathing tube 5 and the internal resistance R ⁇ represent that of Fan 1 outgoing alternating flow portion represents an impedance.
- This impedance is constant due to the constant frequency of the pressure oscillations and the fixed geometry of the hose and the internal structure of CPAP and fan 1 and thus the reference impedance of the measuring device.
- the breathing tube 5 usually has a length of 1.7 m and thus has a high impedance for a frequency of 20 Hz, for example. For the patient's normal ateral frequency of approximately 0.2 Hz to 1 Hz, the tube impedance is small and does not hinder spontaneous breathing.
- the airway resistance R ⁇ w is the sum of the series connected flow resistances of the free or misplaced upper respiratory tract 7 and the bronchi in the lungs. Strictly speaking, this airway resistance is also frequency-dependent and therefore an impedance.
- the air pressure p M inside the breathing mask 6 is measured by feeding it to a pressure sensor 10 using a measuring tube 9.
- the pressure sensor 10 delivers at its output the pressure-proportional electrical signal u M , which consists of a therapy-dependent direct voltage signal and a 20 Hz alternating voltage signal u os .
- the very small AC voltage component is amplified with the aid of a selective amplifier 11 which is matched to the frequency of the alternating pressure and then with a rectifier 12 into a DC voltage converted. After smoothing with the filter element 13, the voltage U 0 s is obtained.
- This voltage U 0 s represents the oscillatory airway resistance R 0 s of a patient, which is known to correlate quite well with the airway resistance R AW measured by other medical methods (body plethysmography, interrupter method).
- the preferred ventilator for therapy of sleep apnea is a CPAP device. Changes in the airway resistance R 0s only occur if the cross section of the upper airways 7 changes with the degree of an obstruction.
- the voltage U 0 s can be supplied to the computer 3 so that it can optimize the constant pressure portion of the therapy pressure with regard to the therapy quality with the aid of its program algorithm. Alternatively or additionally, it can also be shown with the aid of a display 14.
- CPAP systems have a ventilation opening 15 with a cross section of approximately 12 mm 2 , often only a 4 mm hole directly in the breathing mask, for the discharge of the C0 2 -breathed exhaled air. This vent opening 15 represents a constant resistance, which is connected in parallel with the airway resistance.
- the alternating pressure component generated by the blower 1 leads to a reference flow through the series connection of reference impedance and breathing resistance R m of the patient 4.
- the reference impedance is dimensioned by the choice of the frequency so that it is large compared to a healthy airway resistance, and therefore, almost the entire alternating pressure generated by the blower 1 already drops at the comparatively large reference impedance.
- R AW small airway resistance
- the flow resistance of the vent opening 15 is hardly noticeable Weight because it is large compared to a small airway resistance.
- the alternating pressure prevailing in the respiratory mask 6 reaches the pressure sensor 10 with the aid of the measuring tube 9.
- the voltage O 0S 1 is obtained which represents the airway resistance R 0 s , Since the airways are open and therefore the airway resistance is small, the voltages u 0 s and U os are also small.
- the voltage U 0 s is fed to the computer 3 for further processing and can also be displayed using the display 14.
- the voltage at the output of the filter element 13 will assume various values between almost ZERO and U OSM RX depending on the degree of an obstruction and will be monitored by the computer 3.
- the computer 3 also receives the output voltage u M of the pressure sensor. Previously, this should be freed of its AC voltage components using the low-pass filter 16.
- the computer 3 needs this voltage to monitor an optimal therapy pressure determined according to the present program algorithm. This is constantly in computer 3 Dependent on the course of the oscillatory airway resistance Ros or in dependence on the course of the magnitude of the voltage U 0 s.
