Periodic Breathing
What is periodic breathing? Every once in a while I see that on my Bipap and don't know what it means. It usually is 1-3% when it happens.

RE: Periodic Breathing
It is when there is a period of time that ping pongs between breath and apnea with about an apnea per minute or so.
It can look like this: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1fz59...sp=sharing In some cases, it can be associated with certain types of heart disease. You might know if you had that. Note: I'm an epidemiologist, not a medical provider.

RE: Periodic Breathing
The example suggested by Beej is pretty extreme. For those of us without other significant problems it is nothing more than an oscillating breathing pattern that may or may not include apnea or hypopnea. So it can run the whole range between Cheyne Stokes which is a central apnea issue associated with congestive hearth failure, and obstructive periodic apnea like Beej showed (probably physical obstruction like with chin tucking and cutting off airway), and something as simple as this, which is really nothing at all.

RE: Periodic Breathing
You are using AutoB mode with variable IPAP/EPAP and PS. Note EPAP ranged from 6-8 and IPAP from 8.5-12 and PS from 2.5-4.0.
