BiPAP

Post by SleepNP » Mon Jan 20, 2020 3:07 pm

I would like clarification on autoBipap. If the min EPAP is set at a certain amount, with a PS min and max, will the EPAP vary? For example: min EPAP of 5 cm, max IPAP of 25 cm, PS min 3 and PS max 6. Will the EPAP increase during the night? Thank you

Yes, the minimum EPAP 5 can increase when the max IPAP is 25 and the PS is 3 min and 6 max.
So it can...doesn't mean it will but it can.
