1. An automated processing method for adapting cycling of a respiratory treatment apparatus that controls a delivery of a synchronized respiratory treatment to a patient, the method comprising:

  • controlling generation of inspiratory pressure and expiratory pressure over a first plurality of cycles with a processor, wherein timing of delivery of the expiratory pressure for the first plurality of cycles is based on first cycling criteria; and

    controlling generation of inspiratory pressure and expiratory pressure over a second plurality of cycles subsequent to the first plurality of cycles with the processor, wherein timing of delivery of the expiratory pressure for the second plurality of cycles is based on second cycling criteria, the second cycling criteria being different from the first cycling criteria and initiated for operation subsequent to the first plurality of cycles,wherein the second cycling criteria are determined during the first plurality of cycles, andwherein each of the first and second cycling criteria controls synchronization of the respiratory treatment with the patient'"'"'s breathing cycle.
