Re: Need help with ASV

The earliest model Respironics Bipap Auto SV does not have Auto Bipap functionality; the two latest models do. That would not be "Auto Bipap" in the Classic Algorithmic Sense, in that all obstructive events would need to be managed by EPAP; in the CAS, IPAP (or PS) plays a significant role in the m...

Re: 14 yr old to have PSG and MSLT--Advice?

BTW2 (or maybe we're up to about 6 now), as part of the protocol for MSLT, they should do a Urine Drug Screen. Statistically, there is a far greater likelihood of a +DS than N.
