ASV Titration Study

[ResearchMom]

Gainerfull, the max IPAP in ASV is determined from EPAP max and PS max. I agree with your observation that in this case, an EPAP max of 8 or 9 would be appropriate, and with IPAP max 9.0 that would fit your description.  In fact with the current settings, the actual maximum IPAP is just about 15 cm.

Sleeprider--I'm confused by this reply.  Did you mean Pressure Support Max as 9.0 instead of IPAP Max?  Will you confirm your latest recommendations for my son's ASV setting?  (EPAP Min/EPAP Max/Pressure Support Min/Pressure Support Max).  I want to make sure I understand it right! 

Thank you so much!

Yes that's likely a PS Max 9 setting. He mentioned a bump of 1 on PS Min to be 4. As in PS should become range of 4-9.

As you're aware, this ASV has EPAP Min, Max and PS Min, Max. The algorithm takes care of IPAP, moving it around within the EPAP and PS ranges.

Something of note on PS, it always has to have a minimum range of 5 between Min and Max.
