Abstract

The invention concerns a method and an arrangement for the titration of physiological measurement signals. In particular the invention concerns a method and an arrangement for detection and evaluation of a measurement signal indicative in respect of the respiratory gas flow of a sleeping person, in conjunction with the observation of sleep-related breathing disorders. The object of the invention is that of providing solutions which make it possible to detect physiological properties which are relevant in respect of respiration during a sleeping phase, in a manner which makes it possible to assess the physiological state of the person being investigated with a high level of reliability and correctly match any therapy boundary conditions that are required. In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention that object is attained by a method of providing an evaluation result indicative in respect of the physiological state on the basis of measurement signals which are related to the respiration of a person, wherein evaluation features are generated from said measurement signals using a plurality of evaluation systems, and in the framework of a result-generation step based thereon at least one evaluation result is generated, by the evaluation features being subjected to interlinking consideration, wherein the measurement signals are detected in titration sequences which are different in respect of the respiratory gas pressure level applied to the patient and the generation of at least a part of the evaluation features or the evaluation result is effected having regard to the respective titration sequence pressure.
