Discrimination of cheyne-stokes breathing patterns by use of oximetry signals
10512429 · 2019-12-24 · ·

Methods and apparatus provide Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) detection based on a blood gas measurements such as oximetry. In some embodiments, a duration, such as a mean duration of contiguous periods of changing saturation or re-saturation occurring in an epoch taken from a processed oximetry signal, is determined. An occurrence of CSR may be detected from a comparison of the duration and a threshold derived to differentiate saturation changes due to CSR respiration and saturation changes due to obstructive sleep apnea. The threshold may be a discriminant function derived as a classifier by an automated training method. The discriminant function may be further implemented to characterize the epoch for CSR based on a frequency analysis of the oximetry data. Distance from the discriminant function may be utilized to generate probability values for the CSR detection.

Method for detecting and discriminating breathing patterns from respiratory signals
11896388 · 2024-02-13 · ·

A Cheyne-Stokes (CS) diagnosis system classifies periods of CS-like breathing by examining a signal indicative of a respiratory parameter. For example, nasal flow data is processed to classify it as unambiguously CS breathing or nearly so and to display the classification Processing may detect and display: apnoeas, hypopnoeas, flow-limitation and snore. The signal may be split into equal length epochs and event features are extracted. Statistics are applied to these primary feature(s) to produce secondary feature(s) representing the entire epoch. Each secondary feature is grouped with other feature(s) extracted from the entire epoch rather than from the epoch events. This final group of features is the epoch pattern. The epoch pattern is classified to produce a probability for possible event classes (e.g., Cheyne-Stokes breathing, OSA, etc.). The epoch is assigned to the class with the highest probability, which may both be reported as an indication of disease state.
