Is it possible to use BiPAP® autoSV™ patients with COPD, OHS and NMD?
The BiPAP autoSV is designed to treat complicated breathing patterns in sleep patients. Nevertheless, utilizing the 3 different pressure settings and a standard backup rate of 4 -30bpm, the device can be set similar to that of a standard S/T device. The ASV algorithm is not able to assure a volume which would be most beneficial for these types of patients.
