摘要：
A method for selecting a device adapted to treat disordered breathing includes determining a number of characteristics associated with at least a portion of the airway of a patient, comparing each of at least some of the number of characteristics to a corresponding threshold, and selecting such a device in response to the comparison. An alternative method for selecting a device adapted to treat disordered breathing includes delivering a flow of breathing gas to the airway of a patient, determining a minimum effective therapeutic pressure associated with such patient, and selecting, relative to the minimum effective therapeutic pressure, an oral appliance or one of a number of patient interface devices.
