[CPAP] Does the infarction affect the breathing in the device?

[Gideon]

CPAP choice to treat OSA, CA, obstructive or pulmonary restriction

Tne of choice for treatment of obstructive apnea and hypopnea
Just to clarify The VAUTO, ASV, S, and the ST are all BiLevel machines for treating three different conditions, they are NOT interchangeable. They are not a choice between them to treat a single condition.
They should be chosen to treat the specific condition that the user has, Here are the various CPAP machines and what they are designed/intended to treat
This info is from the ResMed Sleep Lab Titration Guide

• CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) Fixed pressure delivered with optional expiratory pressure relief (EPR). It Treats OSA
  

• AutoSet/APAP (automatic positive airway pressure) Automatically adjusts pressure in response to flow limitation, snore and obstructive apneas. It treats OSA
  

• AutoSet for Her/APAP Automatically adjusts pressure in response to flow limitation, snore and obstructive apneas along with an increased sensitivity to each flow-limited breath, providing a more comfortable therapy for women. Increases sensitivity to each flow-limited breath, providing a more comfortable therapy for women (OK for men too). It Treats OSA
  

• VAuto Automatically adjusts pressure in response to flow limitation, snore and obstructive apneas; Pressure Support (PS) is fixed throughout the night and can be set by the clinician. It Treats OSA, non-compliant OSA
  

• S (Spontaneous) Senses when the patient is inhaling and exhaling, and supplies appropriate pressures accordingly. Both treatment pressures are preset: inspiration (IPAP) and expiration (EPAP). It treats Non-compliant OSA and COPD
  

• ST (Spontaneous/Timed) Augments any breaths initiated by the patient, but also supplies additional breaths if the breath rate falls below the clinician’s set “backup” respiratory rate. It Treats COPD, Neuromuscular disease (NMD), Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) and other respiratory conditions
  

• T (Timed) Supplies a clinician-set respiratory rate and inspiratory/expiratory time, regardless of patient effort. It Treats COPD, Neuromuscular disease (NMD), Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) and other respiratory conditions
  

• iVAPS (intelligent Volume-Assured Pressure Support) Maintains a preset target alveolar minute ventilation by monitoring delivered ventilation, adjusting the pressure support and automatically providing an intelligent backup breath. It Treats COPD, Neuromuscular disease (NMD), Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) and other respiratory conditions
  

• ASV (adaptive servo-ventilation) Targets the patient’s minute ventilation, continually learning the patient’s breathing pattern and instantly responding to any changes. It treats Central or mixed apneas, complex sleep apnea, Periodic Breathing (PB)
  

• ASVAuto Provides an ASV algorithm plus expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) that automatically responds on the patient’s next breath to flow limitation, snore and obstructive sleep apneas. It Treats Central or mixed apneas, complex sleep apnea, Periodic Breathing (PB)
  

• PAC (Pressure Assist Control, also known as Pressure Control) The inspiration time is preset in the PAC mode; there is no spontaneous/flow cycling. Inspiration can be triggered by the patient when respiratory rate is above a preset value, or delivered at a set time at the backup rate. It Treats Neuromuscular disease (NMD), pediatric patients

I do not know what camera my doctor said, he did not give the name. I only know tentatively that it could be around $ 5,000. I will know on Saturday. It may be AirCurve 10, but I do not think so, because it does not cost that much.

If the exchange of this type of information is inconsistent with the forum regulations, then I will not write about it at all. It has nothing to do with commercialism and I do not have to write about it.

Thanks

That depends on which BiLevel, The ResMed AirCurve 10 means biLevel.  ASV is a specific model of that.  Search for ResMed AirCurve 10 ASV and find the price.  #3500 US, actual list price could be a lot more.

If I have obstructive and central apnea (I will know exactly on Saturday), then only an ASVA type apparatus is suitable for me?

@Fred Bonjour

I will search, but I will not write about it on the forum. It seems that the forum police are very vigilant.

[Gideon]

Based on your chart here, if it was my chart, I would be moving toward getting an ASV, specifically the ResMed ASV.  Only if there are contraindications would I do otherwise.

We are here to assist you in getting the treatment that you deserve.

Lech, the specific machine you need is the Resmed Aircurve 10 ASV. https://www.resmed.com/us/en/consumer/pr...0-asv.html

In Europe, this may be sold under the name Resmed Aircurve 10 CS Pacewave https://www.resmed.com/au/en/consumer/pr...ewave.html

Are these different territorial names for the same device? 
Is one of them better for me than the others? 
For now, I have confidence that AirCurve 10 ASV would be the best ...

It seems that in Poland it would be the cheapest, if only due to state subsidies (ca. $ 500).

PS' I was at the doctors today. I have very low pressure. They changed some medicine for me. 
     My family doctor has analyzed the results of my research for the last 3 years. There is nothing in them that would indicate a possible heart attack. 
     Therefore, he thinks that this apnea could be an important factor affecting the heart attack.
