RE: Plmnb - the journey continues now with ST-A.
What does the camera record to? I wonder if you could hook it up to computer and use a different recording program and bypass all of the time issues. That would make it far easier for you to review if it was all a single file.
I did similar with my webcam, it only records for up to 2 hrs but a program called free2x allows me to record indefinitely.
RE: Plmnb - the journey continues now with ST-A.
It is a
ring system. I am able to view everything on my phone and on my computer without any wires. It is Bluetooth enabled. I now pay $3.00 a month to access the videos, they keep them on file. I don't think I can handle anymore wired stuff around my bed,
I will pour over what I have, (I lost a ton when I didn't renew in time after my free 30 day trial), and report back.
Thanks,
Plmnb

RE: Plmnb - the journey continues now with ST-A.
Note I do not have the ST-A yet, so I am not yet speaking from experience. The setting Ti Max would in theory cap the inspiration time I'd think given what I understand via research. That in turn would shorten these flat tops on the inspiration. Is that a goal we're trying to gain for Plmnb? I saw example "normal" inhales that resemble an upside-down V. Trying to describe what I mean, inspiration goes up from 0 to a peak then drops, no flat tops.
Here's an image of "normal" non-flat-topped

RE: Plmnb - the journey continues now with ST-A.
The current Timax is already maxing out a fair bit, I wouldn't shorten it further. Increasing rise time would shorten the flat topped pressure curves. The normal easybreath waveform on Autoset and Vauto don't hit IPAP until well into the inspiration(like 1+ second going off memory, pretty much when inspiration is already starting to slow down at least in my case), 300 ms rise time is reaching IPAP in a fraction of the time which causes the square shape. This (caster rise time) is probably beneficial for the bad flow limitations though.

Hi guys.
Woke up groggy this morning. Rebounded til about an hour ago. So exhausted I'm about to pass out. I gotta take a nap. Please, Geer1 or Sleeprider, could you give me the settings I should make right now? I know I could probably glean them from what you all have posted, but I can't hold my head up. I had to hang the phone up on my mother.
So very appreciative,
Plmnb

RE: Plmnb - the journey continues now with ST-A.
One thing I just noticed looking at chart again is that your PS was almost never over 4 so it isn't like the machine was doing something crazy that caused the over ventilation.
Post the charts again showing minute volume and leak rate. I want to clearly see what your ventilation was when leaks were minimal.
RE: Plmnb - the journey continues now with ST-A.
I'll try now. But seriously I might fall asleep at my desk. Bear with me. Thank you.
PS. I gotta find out what's up with the mask.

RE: Plmnb - the journey continues now with ST-A.
Oh, wait, what zoom time?
EDIT: which charts should be replaced? Get rid of Resp Rate and ???

RE: Plmnb - the journey continues now with ST-A.
Get rid of tidal volume and expiration time for now.
RE: Plmnb - the journey continues now with ST-A.
Oh and show the whole night.
