Systems and methods for visualizing pressures and pressure responses to sleep-related triggering events
First Claim
1. A method of visualizing patient treatment data collected while a patient suffering from sleep-disordered breathing is treated, the method comprising:
- initializing pressure settings for patient treatment;
providing a supply of pressurized breathable gas to the patient based at least in part on the pressure settings;
detecting a triggering, event;
when a triggering event is detected, adjusting the pressure settings based at least in part on the triggering event type; and
,creating a visual depiction of provided pressures over time.

Abstract
Systems and methods for visualizing patient treatment data collected while a patient suffering from sleep-disordered breathing is treated are provided. For example, according to certain example embodiments, a PAP device for treating a patient suffering from sleep-disordered breathing is provided. A processor may be set or programmed to generate a signal indicative of a triggering event. A flow generator may be configured to provide a supply of pressurized breathable gas to the patient based at least in part on the signal. Recording programmed logic circuitry may be provided to record in a data log pressures provided during patient treatment and triggering events occurring during patient treatment. Visualizing programmed logic circuitry in communication with the PAP device may be configured to read the data log and generate a visual depiction of provided pressures over time. Triggering events may include, for example, one or more of apnea, hypopnea, flattening, snore, etc.
