ResMed AirCurve 10 S
I was just prescribed a ResMed AirCurve 10 S. The clinical sleep report has several new definitions that I'm not familiar with. Where can I find a glossary for these terms/definitions and how to interpret them? Thanks.

See if this blog answers most of your questions and if it doesn't come back here with specific questions and we will try to clear them up.

Re: ResMed AirCurve 10 S
Thanks for the responses. My doctor is switching me from CPAP (AirSense 10) to BIPAP (AirCurve 10). My AHI is going up, through the transition, rather than down. The new items in the clinical sleep report, that weren't in the AirSense 10, are: Vt 340ml, RR 13, MV 4.8L/min, T: 1.3s, and I:E 1:2.3. Any help clarifying these terms and what they mean would be appreciated.

Re: ResMed AirCurve 10 S
The Vt is your tidal volume, amount of air breathed in during one breath. RR is your respiration rate, 13 breaths per minute. MV is maximum ventilation of 4.8 litres of air per minute. The I:E is the inhale to exhale ratio. For every 1 second you inhaled, you exhaled 2.3 seconds. I think the T is your average inhalation time of 1.3 seconds. I may be wrong on some of these definitions, but that is what could find on the internet and what I remember from reading the information I have on my machine.
