The present invention relates to systems and methods for automatically and continuously
regulating the level of nasal pressure to an optimal value during OSA treatment.
OSA therapy is implemented by a device which automatically re-evaluates an applied
pressure and continually searches for a minimum pressure required to adequately
distend a patient's pharyngeal airway. For example, this optimal level varies with
body position and stage of sleep throughout the night. In addition, this level
varies depending upon the patient's body weight and whether or not alcohol or sleeping
medicine has been ingested.
