Dear PALS, hope you the bests.
I started Bipap 1 year ago for my patient with below settings:
mode: ST
IPAP: 12.0
EPAP: 5.0
IBR: on
Target pt Rate: 14
Trigger: high (i dont know what is this)
Cycle: Med (i dont know what is this)
Ti max: 2.0 sec (i dont know what is this)
Ti min: 0.3 sec (i dont know what is this)
rise time 250 ms
sleep report:
MV: 7.0 L/min
TI : 1.2 s
I:E 1:2.3
spont trig: 16%
spont cyc: 85%
AHI: 0.0
Total: AI 0.0
vt: 460ml
RR: 15
MV 7.0 L/min
Leak 14 L/min
Exp. pressure 4.9
pressure 14.4
during the past several months, I gradually increased the IPAP to 14.6 (my patient felt shortness of breath and after this change, he felt better).
My device is Resmed.
now my patient has breathing difficulty again, and I am not sure if any further increase in IPAP will be helpful or dangerous?
I can not paraphrase the results of MV, RR, VT,TI, I:E.
could anyone please help me if the numbers are ok for an ALS patient who has almost completely disabled?
