睡眠呼吸障礙會使人們在睡眠中無法充分休息,並造成一些後遺症,可小可大。近年來,睡眠呼吸障礙的研究已然日漸成熟,而睡眠呼吸中止症是最常見的睡眠呼吸障礙,其治療的方式也有很多的研究與進步;除了改善生活作息與手術治療,非侵襲性氣道正壓呼吸器,已經證實對睡眠呼吸中止症的治療是很有幫助的。 本文探討睡眠呼吸中止症與睡眠相關障礙疾病,在控制理論與資料分析的基礎上,結合馬達控制理論與技術、氣流感應、氣壓感應與人機介面的運用,使用單一微控制器之方法,開發一雙位準氣道正壓呼吸輔助系統。並在實驗中驗證系統可以達到氣道正壓呼吸器的功能與雙位準氣道正壓呼吸氣的功能。最後,加入了強迫震盪偵測技術,順利的辨識阻塞型睡眠呼吸中止症與中樞型睡眠呼吸中止症。
Sleep disorder makes people unable to rest adequately, which may cause severe or slight sequelae. In the recent years, the sleep disorder research has been gradually mature, and the Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) has been the most common sleep disorder, which treatments have been researched and improved a lot. In addition to lifestyle changed and surgical treatment, it is proved that non-invasive Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is helpful to OSA. In this study, OSA and relevant sleep disorders were investigated and discussed. In addition, a Bi-level PAP system was developed on the basis of control theory and data analysis with combination of the theory and technique of motor control, and application of flow, pressure sensing and interface of users with a microcontroller. The system was verified to have the function of CPAP and Bi-level PAP. Finally, forced oscillation technique was applied to successfully recognize obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea.
