ResMed vs Phillips Respironics
ResMed AutoSet Dreamstation Auto comparison
Why ResMed?
1. # Faster algorithmic response to events than PR.2. # ResMed Responds to Flow Limits PR responds to Snores3. # Lower average pressure (PR require a higher pressure to ward off obstructive events)4. # Better to avoid Aerophagia.5. # Flex is not the same as EPR6. # EPR provides for better treatment of hypopneas, RERAs, Flow Limits, UARS, and snores7. # EPR acts like a BiLevel up to a limit of 3cmw (1,2, or 3cmw) and a max pressure of 20 cmw. Phillips Respironics does not do this.8. # EPR follows your breathing whereas Flex predicts it with a feeling of fighting to get a breath when it predicts incorrectly9. # More flexibility in treating a greater variety of Apneas and respiratory events.10. # In general ResMed provides better therapy.
I have frequently told many DreamStation users that they need to get either the ReaMed AutoSet or BiLevel to get better therapy.
