Abstract: A method for relating to each other cardiovascular and sleep disordered breathing conditions of a patient. The patient's heart rate and/or detailed echocardiogram data is monitored and recorded continuously or periodically together with sleep disordered breathing information on similar time scales. Changes in the patient's heart rate associated with changes in sleep disordered breathing can then be observed. More specifically, positive airway pressure at therapeutic levels for treatment of sleep disordered breathing is applied while events associated with the treatment of the patient's sleep disordered breathing are detected and recorded. At the same time, information concerning the cardiovascular condition of the patient is stored and the stored information concerning the cardiovascular condition of the patient and the recorded events associated with the treatment of the patient's sleep disordered breathing are related to each other.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for monitoring SDB managment that compares titrated CPAP pressure against BMI and AHI/AI indices. The method comprises the steps of storing data on a computer, where the data is collected over a time period of interest. The data consists of BMI and one or more of AHI, AI, Usage and CPAP titration measurements. The method further comprises illustrating the stored data for a selected time period.

Abstract: A humidifier for producing humidified air, particularly for use with a continuous positive air pressure device. The humidifier has an air inlet and outlet. An elongate passageway extending between the air inlet and the air outlet. The passageway is adapted to be partially filled with water so that air passing along the passageway becomes humidified as it passes over the water from the air inlet to the air outlet.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cradle for an electronic operating device, such as a mobile phone. The cradle has a movable locking member (4) and a connector (16), which moves as a response to movement of the locking member. Thus the connector can be hidden when the locking member is open, so that the connector will not be damaged or get dirty.
