Trilogy 100 data
My husband's sleep Dr (or rather his nurse practitioner, since we have never seen the Dr.) wants to change him from a Resmed Airsense 10 to a Trilogy 100. Before we agree to that, I want to make sure that I will be able to view the data from the Trilogy 100. My husband is 92 years old with multiple health issues and no computer skills, so I help him with this. I have been using Sleepyhead software to view the data from the Resmed Airsense 10, in fact, that is how I discovered that he was increasingly going into Cheyne Stokes respiration and brought it to the attention of the Dr's office. Apparently neither the Dr's office or the DME actually look at the data, so I don't want to lose the ability to look at it myself. Does the Trilogy 100 use an SD card, and will sleepyhead read it?
RE: Trilogy 100 data
You need to get the basics and then go back and talk to the nurse and ask to be explained why. My guess is that they want the backup breathing, where the machine will breathe for your husband when he cant.
RE: Trilogy 100 data
Note also the maximum pressures this machine can use:
50 cmH2O for IPAP and EPAP and 30 cmH2O pressure support
This is not a simple CPAP machine. As ajack says, you need to ask the NP why the extra capabilities are needed, and listen to the answers carefully.
I am quite sure that SleepyHead cannot support the Trilogy-100.
RE: Trilogy 100 data
That looks like a real assisted ventilation device (in contrast to "just" ASV) ... not so sure, if one should or would need the data from that!? .. during the day you are awake - if it gets the job done while awake it for sure will get it done during the night. (And I would assume SLEEP-Apnea is not the main problem in that case!?)
