A closed loop system uses (a) the intensity of the diaphragm electromyogram (EMG) for a given inspiratory volume; (b) the inspiratory volume for a given EMG intensity; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b); in view of controlling the level of gas flow, gas volume or gas pressure delivered by a mechani
A closed loop system uses (a) the intensity of the diaphragm electromyogram (EMG) for a given inspiratory volume; (b) the inspiratory volume for a given EMG intensity; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b); in view of controlling the level of gas flow, gas volume or gas pressure delivered by a mechanical (lung) ventilator. The closed loop ventilator system enables for automatic or manual adjustment of the level of inspiratory support in proportion to changes in the neuro-ventilatory efficiency such that the neural drive remains stable at a desired target level. An alarm can also be used to detect changes in neuroventilatory efficiency in view of performing manual adjustments.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for substantially removing a common noise signal portion from electrical signals produced by an electrical signal source having a polarity reversal region with a centre, said electrical signals having inverse polarities on opposite sides of the centre, said method comprising: sensing a first electrical signal of a first polarity through a first electrode pair located on one side of the centre; sensing a second electrical signal of a second polarity through a second electrode pair located on the other side of said centre; sensing a third electrical signal through a third electrode pair located between said first electrode pair and said second electrode pair; combining the first and second electrical signals into a combination signal; and combining the combination signal and the third electrical signal into an output signal, wherein said first and second polarities are opposite polarities; combining the first and second electrical signals comprises subtracting one of the first and second electrical signals from the other of said first and second electrical signals to produce a combination signal substantially free from said common noise signal portion; and combining the combination signal with the third electrical signal comprises adding the combination signal and the third electrical signal to produce said output signal still substantially free from said common noise signal portion and thereby substantially prevent output signal loss. 2. A method for substantially removing a common noise signal portion as recited in claim 1, further comprising differentially amplifying said first electrical signal, differentially amplifying said second electrical signal, and differentially amplifying said third electrical signal. 3. A method for substantially removing a common noise signal portion as recited in claim 1, wherein sensing of said first, second and third electrical signals comprises forming with said first, second and third electrode pairs a series of electrodes having an axis extending through the centre of the polarity reversal region substantially in the direction of polarity reversal. 4. A method for substantially removing a common noise signal portion as recited in claim 2, further comprising applying said output signal substantiality free from said common noise signal portion to a ventilatory assistance system. 5. A method for substantially removing a common noise signal portion as recited in claim 2, wherein sensing of said first, second and third electrical signals comprises sensing first, second and third electromyographic signals, respectively, from at least one muscle of a patient, said at least one muscle constituting the electrical signal source. 6. A device for substantially removing a common noise signal portion from electrical signals produced by an electrical signal source having a polarity reversal region with a centre, said electrical signals having inverse polarities on opposite sides of the centre, said device comprising: a first input responsive to a first electrical signal having a first polarity sensed through a first electrode pair located on one side of the centre; a second input responsive to a second electrical signal having a second polarity sensed through a second electrode pair located on the other side of said centre; a third input responsive to a third electrical signal sensed through a third electrode pair located between the first electrode pair and the second electrode pair; means for combining the first and second electrical signals into a combination signal; and means for combining the combination signal and the third electrical signal into an output signal, wherein said first and second polarities are opposite polarities; the first and second electrical signals combining means comprises means for subtracting one of the first and second electrical signals from the other of said first and second electrical signals to produce a combination signal substantially free from said common noise signal portion; and the means for combining the combination signal with the third electrical signal comprises means for adding the combination signal and the third electrical signal to produce said output signal still substantially free from said common noise signal portion and thereby substantially prevent output signal loss. 7. A device for substantially removing a common noise signal portion as recited in claim 6, further comprising a first differential amplifier for amplifying said first electrical signal, a second differential amplifier for amplifying said second electrical signal, and a third differential amplifier for amplifying said third electrical signal. 8. A device for substantially removing a common noise signal portion as recited in claim 6, wherein said first, second and third electrode pairs form a series of electrodes having an axis extending through the center of the polarity reversal region substantially in the direction of polarity reversal. 9. A device for substantially removing a common noise signal portion as recited in claim 6, further comprising a ventilatory assistance system to which is supplied said output signal substantially free from said common noise signal portion. 10. A device for substantially removing a common noise signal portion as recited in claim 6, further comprising means for extracting from said first, second and third electrical signals, a first, second and third electromyographic signals from at least one muscle of a patient, said at least one muscle constituting said electrical signal source. 11. A device for substantially removing a common noise signal portion from electrical signals produced by an electrical signal source having a polarity reversal region with a centre, said electrical signals having inverse polarities on opposite sides of the centre, said device comprising: a first electrode pair located on one side of the centre for sensing a first electrical signal having a first polarity; a second electrode pair located on the other side of said centre for sensing a second electrical signal having a second polarity; a third electrode pair located between the first electrode pair and the second electrode pair, for sensing a third electrical signal; and a computer connected to said first, second and third electrode pairs to receive said first, second and third electrical signals; said computer being configured to combine the first and second electrical signals into a combination signal and to combine the combination signal and the third electrical signal into an output signal, substantially free from said common noise signal portion and thereby substantially prevent output signal loss.
