Objective- Increase the size and rate of pressure change designed to stop an apnea. I have moderate to severe central apnea and essentially "stop breathing" 7 or more times per night. I am waking from these events with varying degrees of atrial tachycardia. Fortunately I can remedy the condition with magnesium taurate (I am a chemist and developed my own successful medication for rapid recovery from atrial tachycardia). The goal of this eliminating the atrial tachycardia by increasing the rate and magnitude of my Bi-pap machine response when the apneas occur.
The current settings are:
- mode - IVAPS
-Height - 78 inches
- Target PT Rate - 12
-Target VA 9.5L/min
-EPAP 8.0
-Min PS 8.0
-Max PS - 12.0
-Ti Max - 2.5s
-Ti Min - 1.0s
-Rise time - 250ms
-Trigger - Very high
-Cycle - High
- Mask - Full Face
- Ramp time - Off
-Humidity - 4
I look forward to your guidance.
