It’s critical to understand how things work, not just “know how to do it”
What makes us breathe?The stimulus to breatheawake and asleep
Respiratory Physiology During Sleep • Stimulus to breathe not the same as awake • Response to hypercarbia & hypoxemia blunted • Physiology varies NREM vs REM • Cardiovascular changes effect gas delivery and exchange • Respiratory and cardiovascular disease disrupt normal physiology • Some pathologic breathing patterns come and go throughout the sleep period.
Normal Awake Stimulus to Breathe • Hypercapnia • PaCO2 changes quickly • HCO3 changes slowly • Both affect the pH of the blood • Hypoxia • SaO2 and PaO2 • Carotid and aortic bodies • Stretch, “J”, and other receptors

Physiologic Changes in Respiratory Control with Sleep

CPAP Auto CPAP cmH20 cmH20 PAP Therapy for Patients with OSA • CPAP • One level of pressure on inspiration and exhalation • Device may have the option to provide pressure relief in early exhalation • Auto titration therapy • Device pressure is adjusted based on airway dynamics and device algorithm
cmH20 Bi-Level cmH20 Auto SV Flow pattern could look different depending on position and spontaneous vs machine breath. Why? How would this graphic look for AVAPS? PAP Therapy for Patients with OSA/SDB • Bi-level therapy • One level of pressure on inspiration and lower level of pressure on expiration. PS the same every breath • Auto Servo Ventilation • Device pressure is adjusted based on airway dynamics, patient respiratory effort and flow and device algorithm. PS varies according to need.

Auto EPAP Algorithm Leak Tolerance Patient Not Responsive Sophisticated Three Layered Algorithm: Safety Net Exceptions Primary Function Pro Active Analysis
Servo Ventilation Algorithm 4 Minutes On a breath by breath basis flow and/or volume is captured Peak flow or volume is monitored over a moving 4 minute window As 1 breath is added, the initial breath falls off (“rolling 4 minute window”) At every point within this 4 minute period an Average Peak Flow is calculated The Peak flow target is established around that average and is based on the patient’s needs
Servo Ventilation Algorithm – Normal Breathing IF: Peak flow is at target THENASV delivers CPAP pressure only I wonder what hypoventilation would look like?
Hypoventilation would look like THIS! Servo Ventilation Algorithm – Normal Breathing IF: Peak flow changes slowly over time like hypoventilation, target will gradually lower and peak flow will be at target THEN: autoSV Advanced delivers CPAP pressure only
Servo Ventilation Algorithm – Decreased Flow IF: Peak flow falls below target THEN: autoSV Advanced increases pressure support • Aggressive, quick changes meet peak flow target • Flow or volume target is conservative…Over ventilation is avoided
Assured Volume Algorithm < 1 cmH2O / min increase IPAP Setting Pressure Desired Volume Volume Automatically adjusts the pressure support level to maintain a consistent tidal volume • IPAP will automatically increase or decrease to meet Vt target • SLOW increases, not breath by breath (conservative increases) • Assured tidal volume (aggressive pressure support) Not a breath by breath change to stabilize the breathing pattern like aSV Delivers a targeted tidal volume. Focus is on ventilation not stabilizing the breathing pattern.

BiPAP autoSV AdvancedTerms and Definitions Key aSV terms and concepts (because this seems to be a problem for us)
Terms you need to understand • EPAPmin • The EPAP will not drop below this pressure • EPAPmax • The EPAP will not go above this pressure even if events are detected • Max pressure • The maximum pressure the device will deliver even if the algorithm indicates a pressure increase is needed • Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) • The maximum pressure reached on inspiration to deliver the pressure support determined by the algorithm • PSmin • The minimum amount of pressure support delivered each breath (i.e. minimum difference between the EPAP and the PSmin setting) • PSmax • The maximum amount of pressure support that can be delivered (i.e. maximum difference between the EPAP and the PIP) Note: This value may limit the amount of Inspiratory pressure delivered
Let’s take a look at these terms graphically 25 Auto EPAP - Looks like Auto CPAP! Max pressure EPAPmax PSmax 15 cm H2O 15 PSmax PSmin 3 cm H2O PSmin Auto EPAP EPAPmin 5 We will discuss this more when we talk about titration

ASV Stabilizes Ventilation after an arousal. This is the intended response and does NOT require an adjustment in settings!
Titration goals Pearl Exquisitely designed algorithms in partnership with your clinical experience, knowledge and observations AND a clear definition of “success” results in SUCCESSFUL THERAPY Keep the upper airway open (airway management). Stabilize breathing patterns by monitoring the patient’s response to therapy. Adjust user-set parameters as needed for optimal therapy efficacy and adherence. The goals should be individualized to meet the needs of each patient. It is likely each titration will be somewhat unique
Titration Protocol Titration Goals: Airway management, stabilize breathing patterns by monitoring patient’s response and adjusting user set parameters if needed for optimal therapy efficacy and adherence
