Tidal bolune adjustment

Writing on behalf of my brother:

I have CA/OA. I am a 25-year old male weighing 200lbs at a height of 5’11”.

I use a ResMed AirCurve 10 ASV (in ASVAuto mode). My doctor wants me to maintain a Tidal Volume of 200-600 mL. (200 min./400 median/600 90th percentile).

My AirCurve 10 ASV uses a constant “Minute Volume” to manage CA. (The currently recalled Phillips devices use Tidal Volume.)

Question: To what values should I set the four parameters of my AirCurve 10 ASV in order to produce a Tidal Volume range of 200-600 mL?
The four parameters are:
Min EPAP (4.0-15.0)
Max EPAP (4.0-15.0)
Min PS (0.0-6.0)
Max PS (8.0-20.0)

Thanks.

  1. Hi , welcome to our community. I think it's great that you're trying to help your brother; he's lucky to have your support. 😊


    If you haven't already, it's best to talk with your doctor about the settings on the machine. Warmly, — Matt G. (sleepapnea.sleep-disorders.net) Team Member
