These devices can be preferred if there is a respiratory pathology that fits the Cheyne Stokes definition of breathing or if central apneas are predominant. It is also recommended for use in patients diagnosed with complex sleep apnea syndrome. It prevents the formation of unnecessary idiopathic central apneas by keeping the variable pressure requirement of the patient at minimum pressures by making continuous adjustments. While necessary pressure support is increased in apneas and hypoapneas, this support is decreased in case of hyperventilation. GOLDSLEEP ASV device can adjust IPAP/EPAP values as needed. Thus, it is possible to eliminate obstructive apnea in patients with combined apnea (Cheyne-Stokes/Central Apnea/Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome).
IPAP
3 - 35 mbar (up to 35.0 mbar in 0.1 mbar increments) Breathing.
EPAP
3 - 35 mbar (up to 35.0 mbar in 0.1 mbar increments) Exhaling.
RAMP TIME
OFF / 5-10-15…90 MIN.
RAMP PRESSURE
It can be adjusted between 3 - 35 mbar. It gradually rises to the IPAP / EPAP value.
TI
Inspiratory time (0.1-0.2-0.3...7.5 sec.)
I-SLOPE
OFF / 1-2-3-4-5 Length/rate of patient's breathing time (Time taken by the device to go from EPAP (positive exhalation pressure level) to IPAP (positive exhalation pressure level.).
E-SLOPE
OFF / 1-2-3-4-5 Length/rate of the patient's exhalation time (Time taken by the device to descend from IPAP (positive inspiratory pressure level) to EPAP (positive exhalation pressure level.).
I SENSITIVITY
OFF / 1-2-3-4-5 It is the sensitivity to detect inspiration (The sensitivity to detect the beginning of the breathing phase of breathing.).
E SENSITIVITY
OFF / 1-2-3-4-5 5 It is the sensitivity to detect expiration (The sensitivity to detect the beginning of the exhalation phase of breathing.).
BPM-FREQUENCY-RESPIRATORY NUMBER
5…35 Breaths (The number of breaths per minute.)
TUBE DIAMETER
12mm/15mm/22 mm
SIGH
OFF / 300-350-400-450…1000 In one breath, it sends some extra air to the patient, allowing him to take a deep breath. The device uses this feature if the patient encounters conditions such as Apnea/Hypoapnea/Central Apnea during therapy. This feature is not suitable for use in patients with COPD.
PRESSURE UNIT
(hPa/mbar/cmH2o)
