  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING A RESPIRATION PARAMETER IN A MEDICAL DEVICE
    Publication number: 20100076322
    Abstract: A method of determining a respiration parameter in a medical device in which pressure signals are sensed to generate corresponding sample points, and a breath detection threshold is continuously adjusted in response to the generated sample points to generate a current adjusted breath detection threshold. A current generated sample point is compared to the current adjusted breath detection threshold, and the continuous adjusting of the breath detection threshold is suspended and the breath detection threshold is equal to the most current adjusted breath detection threshold generated prior to the suspending in response to the comparing. A next sample point, generated subsequent to the suspending, is compared to the set breath detection threshold, and the respiration parameter is determined in response to the comparing of a next sample point to the set breath detection threshold.
