[Pressure] VINEDIGGER - Therapy Thread

[VINEDIGGER]

hello. 

can some one tell me if my insperation time is normal ?
flow limits?

[PeaceLoveAndPizza]

It is normal. Your I:E is inverted, but that is typical of those with flow limitations, particularly those that are not enough to trigger the FL counter.

[VINEDIGGER]

thank you. i tried all pressures all with epr on 3, non of them would get rid of flow limitations. i have resmed 10 autoset. i am starting to think that a bilevel might fix this ? i am still waking up tired.

[VINEDIGGER]

what i have read on google ( In order to ensure adequate time for exhalation, the I:E ratio must never be allowed to invert. Inverted I:E refers to more time in inspiration than expiration. If this inversion were to occur, gas trapping is almost a certainty. Gas trapping refers to a little extra air remaining in the lungs with every single breath, as the lungs do not have time to fully exhale. ) is there anything i can do to reverse my I:E ?

First, don’t believe everything you read on Google. It is like a drunk know-it-all. What you are likely reading is about someone on mechanical ventilation.

To completely correct it you would need to further reduce flow limitations, which would likely mean a different machine like a bilevel.

Many have similar I:E ratios. While it is not ideal, it is not a major concern at the moment. Your ratio is ~1:1.

thank you so much for answering my question.

While one might be able to coax small I:E modifications with say a VAuto with timing, it probably won't be real needful or consistent.

can someone please tell me if i need to make changes ? 
i coulnt find aircurve vauto in my country so i bought this one instead. it has bilevel to treat my flow limitation.

I am having problems settings it up for smooth and effective therapy.

[VINEDIGGER]

my autoset settings . the issue i had was longer inspiration and so much flow limitations even while using epr 3
