Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mobile acoustic respiratory disorders, also preventive, remedial respiratory pacemaker and a method directed thereto.
  • Sleep-related breathing disorders range from snoring, sleep apnea, to life-threatening respiratory distress in newborns or patients with neurodegenerative diseases. Although sleep apnea are not life-threatening, their increased incidence is a risk factor for a number of folk diseases, such as: Hypertension and diabetes, viewed. In addition to the deterioration in health, especially snoring and sleep apnea lead to a deterioration in the quality of life of those affected and their partners.
  • Sleep-disordered breathing manifests itself either in a pathological prolongation of the respiratory interval, such as central apnea and respiratory misfires, or a reduction in upper respiratory muscle tone, resulting in snoring, partial or complete obstruction.
  • the respiratory control is therefore of particular importance, since in addition to the autonomic function of a connection to higher brain regions than the brainstem, which allows a conscious influence on breathing.
  • the effect of the inventive mobile acoustic breathing pacemaker utilizes this connection. It is targeted by means of acoustic stimuli on the Connections to higher brain regions affects the autonomic respiratory center and prevents the mentioned dysfunctions.
  • the generated acoustic stimulus consists of a pulsatile sound emitted by the inventive mobile acoustic respiratory pacemaker.
  • the pulse rate and volume of the acoustic stimulus as a tone sequence are thereby varied by the inventive mobile acoustic breathing pacemaker presettable by an integrated control unit. It is taken into account by an individual adjustability that on the one hand the volume must not be too strong, so that no cortical wake-up reaction, ie a sleep phase change, is triggered and on the other hand the acoustic stimulus is sufficient to achieve the desired effect. It is spoken in this case of an acoustic stimulation.
  • the pulse rate is related to the metabolic needs, e.g. a sufficient supply of oxygen to the user, individually adjustable and can thus be adapted to changing situations.
  • the prediction of the respiratory distress events and the estimation of the metabolic needs and the sleep phase are determined by physiological quantities, e.g. Heart rate and body temperature, made. These physiological measured values are recorded non-invasively in the ear areas via sensors and further processed via a control device, e.g. analyzed, processed, stored and provided via a signal generator of the acoustic stimulus.
  • the wearer of the inventive mobile acoustic breathing pacemaker is similarly independent as in the use of conventional hearing aids that are limited to the amplification of acoustic signals.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a mobile acoustic respiratory pacemaker, which enables prevention of respiratory disorders prior to their entry and thus eliminates the deficiencies of the known prior art.
  • bringing about a rhythm change in the respiration should prevent a coordination of the rhythm of the heart and the respiration, which correlates with the formation of sequences of apnea / hypopnea.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a mobile acoustic respiratory pacemaker, in which an active influencing of the respiratory frequency ensures a continuous breathing, so that the respiration does not have to be awakened.
  • Another object is to provide a mobile acoustic respiratory pacemaker that combines comfort and a compact design. The required power consumption is covered by rechargeable batteries and / or thermal generators and thus no external supply via lines or cable connections is necessary.
  • Another object is to provide an inventive mobile acoustic respiratory pacemaker, which applies an acoustic impulse directly in the ear canal and is so quiet that only the user perceives this and the possibly lying next to the user partner is not disturbed in his sleep.
  • the mobile acoustic respiratory disorders, also preventive, pacemaker-repairing respirator is provided with a body, comprising: a arranged in the body sensor assembly with at least one sensor for measuring at least the heart rate and / or pulse rate and / or body temperature and / or respiratory cycle length, at least a control unit integrated in the body, wherein the control unit is connected to the sensor arrangement and evaluates the measured values of the sensor arrangement and at least one actuator integrated in the body, wherein the actuator is connected to the control unit and wherein an acoustic pulse can be generated by the control unit is controlled.
  • the inventive mobile acoustic breathing pacemaker is preferably placed behind the ear or in the ear entrance, whereby the freedom of movement and a high level of comfort are guaranteed, both of which significantly contribute to undisturbed sleep.
  • the inventive mobile acoustic respiratory pacemaker enables prevention of respiratory disorders through acoustic stimulation. By deliberately influencing the respiratory rhythm, the sequences of apneas and hypopneas are prevented.
  • the inventive mobile acoustic respiratory pacemaker influences the respiratory rhythm without awakening the patient and thus can not only prevent the apnea / hypopnea but also improve the quality of sleep at the same time.
  • the mobile acoustic respiration pacemaker for, also preventive, correction of respiratory disorders with a body has a arranged in the body sensor assembly for measuring the heart rate / pulse rate and other physiological variables, such as the body temperature and / or respiratory cycle length, at least one integrated in the body control unit and at least one actuator integrated in the body, with which an acoustic pulse can be generated.
  • the body can be placed behind the ear or in the ear entrance and the acoustic impulse can be applied directly in the auditory canal.
  • the sensor arrangement is designed such that a non-invasive, continuous measurement, preferably in the ear, can be carried out.
  • the acoustic pulse is an acoustic stimulus, which is a pulse-like sound.
  • the sensor arrangement comprises exactly one sensor.
  • the body is hypoallergenic and flexible.
