摘要：
Detection and treatment of disordered breathing, with treatment being primarily delivered using electrical stimulation of the diaphragm, either directly or by stimulating appropriate nerves. In some embodiments, the stimulus is applied to still at least one lung upon detection of an apnea-hypopnea of some length or upon the detection of hyperpnea. The stimulation may be initiated during the apnea-hypopnea period or upon detection of a breath of a predetermined intensity near the end of apnea-hypopnea. The stimulation may be initiated in phase with respiration or irrespective of the phase of respiration.
