FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to medical equipment. A system for detecting patient's wake-sleep transition comprises a pressure generator supplying into the patient's airway, a sensor for forming output signals conveying pressure or gas flow information inside or nearby the patient's airway, a processor for executing programming modules. The programming modules comprise a control module for controlling the generator to create respiratory stimuli so that the patient is able to vary inhalation onset, exhalation gas flow and respiratory capacity, a matching module for detecting the time matching of the patient's respiration with the respiratory stimuli. The above detection is based on output signals formed by the sensor, and the respiratory stimuli created by the discharge respiratory gas mix flow. A sleep module is configured to detect if the patient is awake or sleeps. The detection is based on detecting the time matching of the patient's respiration and the respiratory stimuli for the patient that is executed by the matching module. Disclosed are a version of the system and a method for detecting patient's wake-sleep transition.
EFFECT: inventions provide reducing discomfort of sleep onset.
