Abstract
A mobile detection appliance and a method for detecting and evaluating a measuring signal that is indicative of the breathing of a sleeping person are used in connection with the observation of sleep-related breathing disorders. Instruments for detecting signals that are indicative of the breathing of a patient are also used. Solutions that enable an especially reliable examination in terms of the occurrence of sleep-related sleeping disorders, especially in the usual surroundings of the person concerned, are provided. The mobile detection appliance includes a sensor device for detecting a nasal flow signal that is indicative of a nasal respiratory gas flow, and/or a respiratory flow signal that is indicative of an oral respiratory gas flow, in addition to an electronic data processing unit that includes a memory device and processes the respiratory flow signals that are indicative of the temporal course of the nasal and oral respiration. The data processing device stores data that is indicative of the temporal course of the respiratory flow signals.
