  • EIT Electrommpedance Tomography
  • NMV Non-invasive mechanical ventilation
  • Noninvasive mechanical ventilation not only lowers the risk of infection, but also improves patient survival due to respiratory failure.
  • Noninvasive mechanical ventilation can provide precise inhalation and exhalation pressure or tidal volume depending on the subject's degree of ventilation, enhance ventilation per minute of alveolar fibers, or activate destroyed alveolar fibers.
  • Noninvasive mechanical ventilation is used to treat respiratory diseases such as sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and asthma (athma).

  • sleep apnea includes apnea and hypopnea.
  • Apnea is defined as the period during which the respiratory airflow decreases to less than 10% of the normal breathing air for at least 10 seconds during sleep.
  • Breathing air is reduced to 10 to 70% of the normal respiratory airflow lasts for more than 10 seconds, and at the same time the blood oxygen saturation is reduced by 3 or 4%.
  • Apnea and low respiration during sleep can be divided into central, which occurs without obstructive and respiratory effort, caused by abnormal occlusion or reduced area of the upper airway, although there is a breathing effort.
  • PSG was performed in patients who were admitted to a private laboratory for sleep electroencephalography (EEG), electroogulography (EOG), electromyography (EMG), oronasal air flow, nasal pressure, chest respiratory effort, abdomen respiratory effort, SpO2, It detects ECG (electrocardiography), sleep posture, and movement to detect sleep apnea and hypopnea with sleep state.
  • AHI apnea hypopnea index
  • AHI is a criterion for judging the degree of sleep apnea and deciding whether to treat.
  • HST estimates AHI by measuring several signals during sleep at home, such as nasal pressure, respiratory effort, SpO2, heart rate, sleep posture, and movement.
  • Patients with AHI above a certain level in the diagnosis of sleep apnea using PSG or HST prescribe treatment such as noninvasive ventilation, positive airway pressure (PAP), oral structures or upper gastrointestinal surgery.
  • treatment such as noninvasive ventilation, positive airway pressure (PAP), oral structures or upper gastrointestinal surgery.
  • the PAP used for sleep apnea treatment consists of an air pressure generator that produces airflow with a positive pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, a mask that attaches to both nose and mouth, and a tube that connects them.
  • CPAP continuous PAP raises the output air pressure to a predetermined air pressure and maintains its value, including intake and exhalation. It helps to suck in air when sucking, and to prevent closure of sucking. However, there are many cases where the patient feels uncomfortable due to positive pressure during expiration.
  • APAP automated PAP measures the air pressure and air flow of the mask to vary the output air pressure.
  • BiPAP uses two different output air pressures during exhalation and inspiration.
  • PSG is performed using PAP, and titration process is performed to determine the output air pressure suitable for the patient.
  • APAP is mainly used when PAP is used after HST without separate PSG inspection.
  • BiPAP is used in patients with cardiopulmonary or neurological diseases.
  • the existing APAP measures air pressure and airflow inside the mask and changes the output air pressure in a manner unique to each manufacturer, depending on the value.
  • the air pressure and the air flow of the mask are different from the air pressure and the air flow in the patient airway.
  • Specialist pulmonary function testing devices such as spirometers are equipped with pressure and air flow sensors in the nose and mouth to measure the air pressure and airflow of the airway, but it is difficult to attach these sensors to patients wearing PAP masks.
  • the air when the pulmonary function improvement treatment is performed, the air must be delivered to the patient's lungs with the pressure and the volume of the set air.
  • Sleep apnea is associated with various pathologies such as anatomical structure of the upper respiratory tract, respiratory-related muscle nervous system function, nervous system response to changes in blood oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration due to lack of respiration, It is a complex disease that involves physiological factors.
  • AHI AHI for the diagnosis of sleep apnea makes it difficult to determine the severity and cause of sleep apnea, thus making it difficult to select treatment methods depending on the severity and cause. Therefore, it is difficult to maintain the effect of the sleep apnea treatment.
