Any idea what's causing such low flow rate?
I have noticed occasional drops on flow rate. There is no snoring but the tidal volume in this segment drops to 206, SpO2 drops to 92%, and minute ventilation drops to 3.50. Any idea what's causing this, and what I can do about it. I was using an N30i mask at the time and sleeping on my side.

RE: Any idea what's causing such low flow rate?
Whatever it is, the ASV is hammering you with the full pressure support it has available. You may be chin-tucking in a fetal position, but you're compensating a bit with a higher respiration rate. I think it's positional.
