New to ASVauto - SDM1 - 09-14-2024

[attachment=69603]Hey all,

I just completed my 2nd night with a new Resmed Aircurve 10 ASV, my numbers look really good but my sleep keeps being interrupted by what I assume high pressure. How does one limit the high-end limit of the pressures on this machine? or should I not be limiting either way on this since it's an Auto machine?

Thanks Thanks

It's possible to edit settings where they won't negatively impact the ASV therapy. First we'll want some other OSCAR charts to help guide.

Events
Flow Rate
Pressure or Mask Pressure
Leaks

Certainly skip flow limits, as the ASV algorithm actually gives FL artifacts in this section. Most will have some activity on FL on ASV and you can't tune it out without hindering CA therapy.

Be sure to state some settings you've tried.

Here is the Oscar report you asked for, the only change I have made was to raise the EPAP min from 4.0 to 7.0.

RE: New to ASVauto - SarcasticDave94 - 09-14-2024

OK got it, thanks.

Here's a combo I'd try.

Edit EPAP Max down 1 to 11, gives EPAP 7-11.

PS: I'd consider edits to both Min and Max. I felt better with using ASV if there's some differential always, as in some PS. Try PS 3-10. This makes your overall just 1 less on IPAP Max, but PS should fire then drop.

Try it even a few minutes, see if this changes it enough.

We can edit again if needed.

Okay, Thanks.

I'll give it a try!

So, I slept better (Longer Durations & kept mask on) but UA's & Hypopnea's took over. Thoughts???

Try setting PS Min to 2.0. Having some pressure support on every breath makes it feel less abrupt when the machine kicks in more PS to manage breath volume or rate. Your current setting are PS min 0.0, PS max 10.0. Make that PS min 2.0, PS max 10.0
