Claim 5:
6. A system comprising:
therapy delivery circuitry configured to deliver electrical stimulation;
sensing circuitry configured to sense one or more physiological signals; and
processing circuitry configured to:
detect an apnea event based on the one or more physiological signals;
determine that the apnea event cannot be characterized as one of a normal, OSA (obstructive sleep apnea), CSA (central sleep apnea), or combination OSA/CSA event; and
control the therapy delivery circuitry to deliver a particular electrical stimulation as a default based on the determination that the apnea event cannot be characterized as a normal event, an OSA event, a CSA event, or combination OSA/CSA events.
