Abstract
A system and method for providing ventilatory support to a patient suffering from sleep disordered breathing (SDB), in particular, non-obstructive SDB, such as Cheyne Stokes respiration and hypoventilation, including obesity hypoventilation syndrome. The system and method monitor obtain data corresponding to a breathing pattern of a patient and determine when the patient experiences oscillating breathing or low spontaneous ventilation. In particular, the system and method determine when the patient's real-time breathing patterns fall below a predetermined baseline threshold, and subsequently initiate a short series of mechanical breaths to be delivered to the patient.
