AI Overview

IntelliPAP, like other auto-adjusting CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines, responds to flow limitations, which indicate a narrowing or obstruction in the airway, by increasing the pressure to maintain airflow. This response is intended to counteract the reduced flow and prevent airway collapse.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Detection:
IntelliPAP uses algorithms to detect changes in airflow, including flow limitations, which suggest a potential airway obstruction.
Pressure Adjustment:
When flow limitations are detected, the device increases the pressure to try and overcome the obstruction and keep the airway open.
Gradual Increase:
The pressure increase is typically gradual, starting with a small increment and potentially continuing as the flow limitation persists.
Response Sensitivity:
IntelliPAP, like other auto-adjusting CPAP machines, can have varying sensitivities to flow limitations. Some devices might respond more aggressively or slowly to these events, and this can depend on the specific device algorithm and settings.
Limited Response at Higher Pressures:
The response to flow limitations might be reduced when the pressure is already high.
Return to Initial Pressure:
Once the normal breathing pattern resumes, the IntelliPAP device will gradually decrease the pressure back to the initial therapy pressure.

Flow Limitation. Both the SleepStyle 200 and S8 units showed a rapid response to the flow-limitation breathing pattern (Figure 2).

A CPAP machine is not a ventilator.
