The doctor recommended auto CPAP with pressure range 5-10cm.
I already got Aircurve 10Vauto and I tried it with auto mode and pressure support=0, EPAP=5 and IPAP=10.
The treatment till now was not successful - I wake up with suffocation feeling and low oxygen levels in my pulse-ox ring.
1. Do you think the Aircurve with ps=0 will function same as auto CPAP?
2. I understand that the higher the pressure, the higher the risk of developing more central apneas. So why recommend CPAP that does not treat centrals?
3. How long should I try to use the CPAP until I change to BiPAP?
I read that bipap st is not easy to adjust, bipap asv is for hyperventiliation and bipap ivaps is for hypovetilation.
4. How do I know if I got hypoventialtion or hyperventilation?
5. What BiPAP is usually recommended to try instead of the auto CPAP with my condition (asv or ivaps)?
