Cardiac Oscillations, Palatal Prolapse and PS

Post by Rubicon » Tue Mar 15, 2022 7:55 am

In the search for explanation of odd blips in the expiratory phase, consider PS:

RM AC10 EPAP 7.6 PS 4.0.
Freeze this moment a little bit longer.
Make each sensation a little bit stronger.
Experience slips away.

Hi Rubicon,
The Palatal Prolapse in the title caught my attention. But I’m not sure what you need, as you didn’t ask a question.
The only thing that worked for my expiratory Palatal Prolapse (PP) is the addition of a 6” AlaxoStent to my bilevel therapy.

An observation on causes of expiratory flow disturbances.

In the above case, someone has set an I:time of 3.0 seconds, and pressure support was maintained through part of exhalation. When it finally shuts off, there's a pulse.
