VAUTO vs Autoset Question (seems ambiguous..)

[Apnea23]

I've recently switched to a Resmed Vauto to tweak my therapy further after starting to use Oscar after 2 hears, however I do not understand the following that Resmed state:

"The difference between AutoSet and VAuto is that the same amazing AutoSet algorithm is applied to the inhalation and exhalation events separately, making for a highly adaptive PAP mode of functioning."

What exactly does this mean, as if you set the pressure support to 3 to mimmick the Autosets EPR of 3 as an example, does it mean the Vauto will treat inhalation and exhalation events differently to the Autoset? Because that is how it reads. Yet I don't understand how that is possible if the pressure support is fixed.

Is it not just doing exactly the same thing as the Autoset in the real world?

Am I being stupid?

It does indeed, and you would be hard-pressed to see any difference between an Autoset with EPR 3 and the Aircurve Vauto with PS 3 at the same settings. There are however differences. With the Vauto you get a much more unlimited range of pressure support, as well as setting for Ti Min, Ti Max, trigger and cycle sensitivity and some other features that can make a big difference. Those settings are not available on the Autoset. I have images that show this comparison, but how deep do you want to dive and why? If you have an Oscar screenshot of your detailed data and some objectives you feel are not being met with your current therapy, it might be possible to guide you to that goal.
