Question about Bilevel setting - yankees123 - 12-10-2023
I have a vauto unit and was thinking about trying the “S” mode. Is it true in s mode it doesn’t display a graph of flow limitation? If that is so is there a way to display it?

You are correct. The workaround is to use the auto mode, setting the max setting to equal the sum of minimum pressure and the PS value.

As Crimson Nape said, that is the best of both worlds.
Here are my settings:
Mode Vauto
Min EPAP 8
Max IPAP 12
PS 4
RE: Question about Bilevel setting - yankees123 - 12-10-2023
So to understand, on S mode there is no data at all for flow limitations?

Correct

Thanks everyone, I guess looking at Peacelove her settings are actually mimicking s mode but using the vauto mode correct?
RE: Question about Bilevel setting - PeaceLoveAndPizza - 12-10-2023
That is correct. It is effectively running like it is set to S mode.

Thanks for the explanation.
