 本申请要求2006年2月17日提交的美国临时申请号为60/774, 222的优选权，其作为参考全部结合于此。  This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application No. 2006, filed February 17 preferred rights 60/774, 222, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
 本发明涉及用于通气辅助设备的正压通气（PAP)装置，更具体的，涉及提供至少一种存在于睡眠状态下的操作模式的PAP装置。  The present invention relates to a positive pressure ventilation device (PAP) for ventilatory assist devices, and more particularly, relates to providing at least one is present in the PAP device operating in the sleep mode state.
 正压通气（PAP)装置用于治疗与睡眠有关的呼吸障碍，诸如阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)13Colin Sullivan是第一个发明使用鼻连续气道正压通气（CPAP)来治疗阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA)的人，例如参见美国专利号4, 944, 310。  Positive Pressure Ventilation (PAP) associated with means for the treatment of sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) 13Colin Sullivan first invention is the use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to treat Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) person, see for example U.S. Pat. No. 4, 944, 310. OSA以睡眠期间上呼吸道部分或全部闭塞（即，呼吸暂停）为特点。 OSA to the upper respiratory tract partial or total occlusion (ie, apnea) during sleep characterized. OSA受害者在整个睡眠期间重复地抑制其舌头和软腭，导致动脉血氧水平降低和睡眠质量较差。 OSA victims throughout repeatedly during sleep suppressing their soft palate and the tongue, resulting in decreased arterial oxygen levels and poor sleep quality.
 CPAP治疗通常经由气体输送管线和患者接口，诸如全脸面罩或鼻罩或鼻管为患者提供来自风箱的空气或可吸入气体的供应。  CPAP therapy typically via a gas delivery line and a patient interface, nasal mask or full face mask or nasal cannula such as providing air from the bellows to a patient or inhalable supply of gas. 该空气或可吸入气体一般在4cmH20到28cmH20 的压力下输送并用作夹板以保持睡眠期间气道的开放。 The air or breathable gas is generally used as a splint delivery and to maintain patency of the airway during sleep at a pressure of 4cmH20 to 28cmH20. CPAP治疗已经显示了能有效消除打鼾和阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停。 CPAP therapy has been shown to effectively eliminate snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. 然而，一些患者对CPAP治疗的不舒适性有所抱怨。 However, some patients complain of discomfort of CPAP therapy.
 有效的CPAP治疗所需压力在不同患者间是不同的。  effective CPAP therapy are different between different patients required pressure. 为了确定个体有效CPAP治疗的压力，个体通常忍受医院、诊所或睡眠实验室内的睡眠研究。 In order to determine individual effective pressure CPAP therapy, individuals often sleep study in a hospital, clinic or sleep lab stand. 完整的睡眠研究一般进行两个晚上，第一晚进行OSA的诊断，而第二晚进行压力滴定。 Complete sleep studies are generally carried out two nights, the first night diagnose OSA, and the second pressure titration night. 在第一晚，对睡眠时的个体进行观察并记录诸如氧饱和度、胸壁和腹部运动、气流、呼出的C02、ECG、EEG、EMG和眼球运动等参数。 In the first night, during sleep individual observed and recorded, such as oxygen saturation, chest and abdominal motion parameters, airflow exhaled C02, ECG, EEG, EMG and eye movement and so on. 在第二晚，给个体提供鼻PAP治疗并响应打鼾或呼吸暂停的出现而改变所输送的治疗压力。 In the second night, providing to the individual response and the nasal snoring or PAP therapy apnea treatment pressure varies delivered. 晚上期间消除打鼾或呼吸暂停所需的最小压力被确定为有效的PAP治疗压力。 Eliminate snoring or apnea during night minimum pressure required is determined to be valid PAP therapy pressure.
 因为逆着高于周围压力所提高的压力呼吸会是不舒服的，尤其是在试图进行睡眠时，因此需要保持PAP压力尽可能低地使用，特别是如果个体需要长期的治疗。  Because the above ambient pressure against the increased pressure breathing will be uncomfortable, especially when trying to sleep, it is necessary to keep the pressure as low as possible to use PAP, especially if the individual need long-term treatment. 低PAP压力还导致对患者来说通常更舒服的更低面罩接触压力。 PAP also results in a low pressure is generally more comfortable for the patient's lower contact pressure mask. 这样，在PAP治疗期间，理想地使用能有效防止阻塞的最低实际治疗压力，以便提供更高水平的舒适度从而促进对治疗的顺应性。 Thus, during the PAP therapy is desirable to use the lowest practical pressure treatment can effectively prevent clogging in order to provide a higher level of comfort in order to promote compliance to treatment.
 被称为双CPAP (Bilevel CPAP)装置的另一类型的CPAP装置在吸气期间提供第一压力（一般称为IPAP)，在呼气期间提供第二、更低的压力（一般称为EPAP)。  CPAP is referred to as bis (Bilevel CPAP) device of another type of CPAP device provides a first pressure during inhalation (typically referred to as the IPAP), providing a second, lower pressure during expiration (generally called as EPAP). 一些患者感到在呼气期间的更低压力是更舒服的，至少在它们清醒的时候是这样。 Some patients feel less pressure during expiration is more comfortable, at least when they are awake so. 这些装置的示例包括雷斯梅德VPAPs系列和伟康（Respironics) BiPAPi系列。 Examples of these devices include ResMed VPAPs series and WK (Respironics) BiPAPi series. 双CPAP装置可建议用于不适应单一压力CPAP装置的患者。 Dual CPAP device may be recommended to the patient to adapt a single pressure CPAP device.
 设计能增强患者舒适度和顺应性的其他类型的CPAP模式在呼气开始时提供快速压力减小，接着在呼气末或接近呼气末快速回复到治疗压力。  designed to enhance patient comfort and compliance of other types of CPAP Provides rapid pressure reduction during exhalation starts, then at the end or near the end-tidal expiration quick response to the treatment pressure. 这些方法被设计用来克服逆高压呼气所感觉到的问题并将其称为呼气压力释放（EPR)模式。 These methods are designed to overcome the inverse problem of the high pressure and perceived breath referred to as its expiratory pressure relief (EPR) mode. 这一模式形成伟康C-Flex 模式的基础。 This model forms the basis of Respironics C-Flex mode. 见已公开的专利申请W02005/065757和W02004/112680以及美国专利号5, 535, 738 ;5, 794, 625 ;6, 105, 575 ;6, 609, 517 和7, 128, 069。 See the published patent application W02005 / 065757 and W02004 / 112680 and U.S. Patent No. 5, 535, 738; 5, 794, 625; 6, 105, 575; 6, 609, 517 and 7, 128, 069.
 改进患者舒适度和顺应性的另一方式是在低治疗压下开始每个治疗期（例如， 4cmH20)，接着在诸如第一个小时的时期内倾斜上升到全治疗压。  The improved patient comfort and compliance at the beginning of another embodiment of a low pressure treatment of each treatment period (e.g., 4cmH20), followed over a period of one hour as the first ramp up to full treatment pressure. 这允许患者在入睡时调整感觉。 This allows the patient to adjust the feel while going to sleep. 可选的，可将该装着设成在施加全治疗压之前执行一时间延迟，这使得患者有时间在施加全治疗压之前入睡。 Alternatively, the filled can be set to perform a time delay before the treatment pressure is applied to the whole, which makes a patient fall asleep before applying full pressure treatment. 见美国专利5, 199, 424和5, 522, 382。 See U.S. Patent No. 5, 199, 424 and 5, 522, 382.
 CPAP治疗的另一形式可由诸如雷斯梅德AUTOSET™ SPIRIT™装置的自动调节CPAP装置来提供。  Another form of CPAP therapy, such as may be provided by automatically adjusting CPAP device ResMed AUTOSET ™ SPIRIT ™ device. 在该装置中，CPAP压力根据流速限制的指示，诸如流体平滑、打鼾、呼吸暂停和呼吸减弱而自动地增加或减少。 In this device, the CPAP pressure in accordance with an instruction of flow limitation, and automatically increases or decreases as fluid smooth, snoring, apneas and hypopneas. 见美国专利5, 704, 345 ;6, 029, 665 ;6, 138, 675和6, 363, 933。 See U.S. Patent No. 5, 704, 345; 6, 029, 665; 6, 138, 675 and 6, 363, 933. 这些专利还描述了用于区分所谓"中枢"和阻塞性呼吸暂停的方法和装置。 These patents also describe the so-called "backbone" and a method and apparatus for distinguishing obstructive apnea. 最近，已经公开了IPAP和EPAP压力都能根据上述的流速限制指示来自动增加或减少的自动调整双向装置。 Recently, it has been disclosed IPAP and EPAP pressures can be automatically increased or decreased in accordance with the above-described automatic adjustment means bidirectional flow rate restriction indication. 见未决的专利申请W02005/063323。 See pending patent application W02005 / 063323.
 自动调整系统的优势在于它仅在需要时给患者提供了提高的PAP。 Advantages  automatic adjustment system is that it only provides increased PAP to patients when needed. 这意味着患者免于在整个治疗期期间接受最高治疗压力的不便。 This means that the treatment of the patient from receiving the highest pressure during the entire treatment period inconvenience. 此外，虽然对特定患者所需的治疗压力会随着时间的流逝而改变，正确的机能自动系统可排除需要患者回到后继的睡眠研究来重新设定PAP装置所输送的治疗压力。 In addition, although the required treatment for a particular patient pressure will change over time, the correct function of the automatic system can eliminate the need for subsequent return to the patient sleep study to re-set treatment pressure delivered by the PAP device.
 通常，制造并测试PAP装置以对特定患者接口系统发挥最有效的性能。  Generally, to manufacture and test the PAP device to play the most effective performance for a particular patient interface system. 然而，该PAP装置和患者接口系统作为治疗设备的分离部件进行销售的。 However, the PAP device and the patient interface system for sale of the therapeutic device as a separate member. 这样，患者可决定将特定的PAP装置与没有进行明确PAP装置测试的患者接口系统一起使用。 Thus, the patient may decide to use with a particular device not explicitly PAP PAP test means a patient interface system. 这会导致降低治疗系统的功效。 This can lead to reduced efficacy of the treatment system. 因此，鼓励消费者购买兼容产品的系统会提供更有效和/或更舒适的治疗。 Therefore, to encourage consumers to buy compatible products will provide more effective and / or more comfortable treatment. 一旦兼容的产品被结合，与单独的分离的产品相比，它们能输送增强的治疗益处。 Once the products are compatible binding, as compared to separating the individual products, which can enhance the delivery of therapeutic benefit.
