1. A neural stimulation system, comprising:

  • a stimulation output circuit adapted to deliver a neural stimulation therapy;

    a stimulation delivery controller coupled to the stimulation output circuit, the stimulation delivery controller adapted to control the delivery of the neural stimulation therapy by executing one or more stimulation algorithms;

    a respiratory signal input adapted to receive a respiratory signal indicative of respiratory cycles;

    a respiratory disorder detector coupled to the respiratory signal input, the respiratory disorder detector adapted to detect a respiratory disorder using the respiratory signal; and

    a stimulation switch coupled to the respiratory disorder detector and the stimulation delivery controller, the stimulation switch adapted to stop executing a first stimulation algorithm of the one or more stimulation algorithms in response to the detection of the respiratory disorder.
