Abstract
A system for detecting ventilation instability includes a pulse oximeter for generating a time series of oxygen saturation values and a processor programmed to detect the occurrence of patterns along the time series of clustered variations indicative of ventilation instability. An output is provided in response to the detection of the occurrence.
