ASV: AHI zero, flow limitation mucho
Hey good people of the Apnea board,
I've been trying different pressure settings for my Resmed ASV(auto) machine for a while now and I think I have to draw the conclusion that it's failing to help. A quick background:
Muchas gracias!
I've been trying different pressure settings for my Resmed ASV(auto) machine for a while now and I think I have to draw the conclusion that it's failing to help. A quick background:
- CPAP: Using it with EPR showed inspiratory flow limitation, and could not tolerate exhaling against the pressure.
- BiPap: Used 14Ipap, 10 epap), I would still notice a lot of apnea's, hypopnea's and flow limitations: imgur.com/a/qz0DiYT
- ASV(auto): much more comfortable breathing with neglectible AHI, still disordered breathing: imgur.com/a/OhnFVrZ
- DISE/Sleep endoscopy: 75-100% collapse of the eppiglottis, velum and tongue base with and without MAD device + mallampati 4 tongue
Muchas gracias!
