Decreasing pressure settings for ASV machine
I think I may have Aerophagia and wanted to ask the docotor to lower my pressures to see if it helps any. As I understand it ASV has 3 pressure settings...which one should I ask him to reduce? All three or just one of them?

Re: Decreasing pressure settings for ASV machine
presumably, your doctor would know which would be best, it's not good for your well being to twiddle with an asv unless you have a pretty good idea what you're doing, and possibly monitoring your o2 sats while sleeping.Dave007 wrote:I think I may have Aerophagia and wanted to ask the docotor to lower my pressures to see if it helps any.

Re: Decreasing pressure settings for ASV machine
Dave,
I think you must have a 950 machine as it won't show on the equipment list.
Respironics ASV machines have the following pressure settings that may be of interest.
Discuss this with your doctor so you don't get into trouble.
EPAP Min
EPAP Max
Pressure Support Min
Pressure Support Max
Max pressure
IPAP is calculated
It is important that the machine be able to have a significant pressure differential when it is in ventilator mode. This is what keeps the air exchange effective when you are not breathing on your own. If this differential gets too small, in ventilator mode insufficient exchange takes place and you get rebreathing and CO2 and SpO2 issues..
Please be careful.

his comment about only three settings sounds more like a vpap adapt in asv mode.JDS74 wrote:Dave,

Tough to mount a Respironics humidifier on a Resmed machine but I suppose it is possible with a lot of fiddlingpalerider wrote:his comment about only three settings sounds more like a vpap adapt in asv mode.JDS74 wrote:Dave,

oh, right, fine, make me look stupid... I REALLY don't need any help in that dept, I do a fine job of it myself... *grumble*JDS74 wrote:Tough to mount a Respironics humidifier on a Resmed machine but I suppose it is possible with a lot of fiddlingpalerider wrote:his comment about only three settings sounds more like a vpap adapt in asv mode.JDS74 wrote:Dave,
