Abstract: A system may include a respiratory device configured to deliver fluid to a patient. The system may include a controller configured to receive information indicative of a condition of an airway of the patient during an immediately preceding breath of the patient or a current breath of the patient. Further, the controller may be configured to issue one or more commands to adjust a pressure of the fluid delivered to the patient based on the information. A method is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a pressure support system configured to identify respiratory events of a subject. The system is configured to produce and analyze signals pertaining to one or more parameters of the pressurized flow of breathable gas to identify respiratory events. The respiratory events may include coughs and/or other respiratory events. The parameters may comprise a pressure, flow and/or volume of the pressurized flow of breathable gas. In some embodiments, cough detection may be based on a vibration in pressure, a negative spike in flow, a cessation in flow, and/or a large insufflation. In some embodiments, the system comprises one or more of a pressure generator, a subject interface, one or more sensors, a processor, a user interface, electronic storage, and/or other components.
