Breaths Per Minute (BPM)
I was noticing in the clinicians setting section of my DreamStationAutoSV.....BPM. And, it's set to off.
Just wondering what it is.

RE: Breaths Per Minute (BPM)
Gramma, many people are using the Auto S/V machine because they have central apnea where they don't spontaneously initiate a breath. The BPM setting is a backup-rate that will deliver a timed breath before an apnea occurs. Common settings for BPM are 10 to 15 breaths per minute (BPM). Some individuals use the Auto SV to resolve periodic breathing or hypopnea, but don't suffer central apnea. For those patients, the BPM can be set to off because they spontaneously trigger inspiration.

I have an ahi of 7.5 from last night (Sat)
I changed the settings from the DME because the ahi was 10. I do indeed have central apnea along with obstructive, so I guess it's called mixed apnea. my settings last night were Pressure 22 EPAP max 17 EPAP min 13 PS max 9 PS min 5 BPM auto any way I can do something different to get closer to 0

We I’ll need graphs to comment and as i don’t think this machine works with sleepyhead yet (try it though I may be wrong) if sleepyhead does not work then you need to obtain a copy of Encore from here http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Forum-P...-and-Links

I finally got it to work!
so, I guess what that tells me is that I need to simply work on hypopneas. The CPAP is working for the most part on the centrals and obstructives. ![[Image: Zuz9dVv.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/Zuz9dVv.jpg)
