Abstract
A system for automatic sleep test analysis, the system comprising: a pulse oximeter for continuously monitoring oxygen saturation values of a patient; a capnograph for continuously monitoring exhaled carbon dioxide (C02) values of the patient; and a computing unit configured to compute a continuous integrated sleep score based on a sequential analysis of the oxygen saturation values and the exhaled C02 values, wherein the continuous integrated sleep score is indicative of the patient's breathing-related sleep quality during at least a portion of the sleep test.
Claims22
A method for automatic sleep test analysis, the method comprising:
- continuously monitoring, using a pulse oximeter, oxygen saturation values of a patient;
- continuously monitoring, using a capnograph, exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2) values of the patient;
- and
- computing a continuous integrated sleep score based on a sequential analysis of the oxygen saturation values and the exhaled CO2 values, wherein the continuous integrated sleep score is indicative of the patient's breathing-related sleep quality during at least a portion of the sleep test.
