1. A system for monitoring a patient during gas delivery comprising:
- a breathing mask including a body having an internal surface, an external surface, and a perimeter surface shaped to form a seal around the patient'"'"'s nose; and
a headgear adapted to retain the body on the patient'"'"'s head, the headgear having at least one EEG sensor positioned thereon to detect brain activity;
a processor adapted to receive a signal from said at least one EEG sensor, said processor determining said patient'"'"'s sleep stage based at least in part on said signal; and
a gas delivery device in communication with said breathing mask, said gas delivery device delivering gas to the patient based on a processor determination of said patient'"'"'s breathing and sleep stage.

Abstract
The invention relates to a breathing mask for use in monitoring a patient. The mask can have sensors on the body of the mask and on the associated straps or caps. The mask can be used to monitor breathing problems or to monitor a patient during anesthesia. The data acquired from the mask sensors and related sensors can be stored or fed into a computer to analyze the patient'"'"'s condition and provide feedback information.

7. A nasal ventilation system comprising:
-
a mask including a body having an internal surface, an external surface, and a perimeter surface adapted to form seal around a patient'"'"'s nose, an airhose extending from the body; a headgear adapted to retain the body on the patient'"'"'s head, the headgear having at least one EEG sensor positioned thereon to detect brain activity; at least one EMG sensor connected to the body and positioned to detect muscle activity relating to a sleep stage; a processor in communication with said at least one EEG sensor and said at least one EMG sensor, said processor determining said patient'"'"'s sleep stage based at least in part on a signal received from said at least one EEG sensor; and a gas delivery device in communication with said mask, said gas delivery device changing a delivered air pressure to said patient based on a sleep stage determination by said processor. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
