OSCAR pressure readings versus BIPAP display - smallhandsfeeding - 02-07-2024
[attachment=59323]
Hi,
so I'm pretty new to OSCAR but slowly figuring it out. I had a weird occurrence last night where the machine (respironics bipap) read IPAP/EPAP settings of 9/5 all night (I woke up a bunch and looked at the screen) but when I uploaded the data to OSCAR today it seems to indicate that my ACTUAL IPAP setting was closer to 7 and going down to 6. The machine can do auto mode, but I currently have it set to bilevel so I'm confused as to why this happened. I also had a lot of central apneas last night, way more than previous nights, so this kind of makes sense. Am I reading something wrong or are the bilevel settings being somehow overridden by the machine? I'm pretty confused! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
