Aircurve VAuto PS...pros & cons

[WW4B]

What are the advantages and/or disadvantages of increasing pressure support on a Aircurve Vauto 10/11. Will a higher PS cause co2 issues. When do stop increasing PS in regards to controlling flow limits. What is considered too high of a PS.

The settings somewhat are dependent on the individual. PS typically it's set between 3-5, sometimes a bit more but rarely that I've seen.

Higher PS can cause CO2 flushing that in turn may cause Central Apnea.

Low PS might not have enough pressure differential between exhale to inhale. Too high, and again it may cause CA.
