3 Learning Objectives Autotitrating CPAP Interpreting Studies 1. Given autotitrating study, determine the importance of the parameters. 2. Given the autotitrating study, determine how the whole study can be used in managing the patient s OSA. 3 3

4 REVIEW AutoAdjust Responders Either used to INCREASE the pressure with their PRESENCE or to DECREASE the pressure with their ABSCENCE Snoring 70 Hz Frequency Obstructive Apneas 90% Reduction for 10 Seconds Hypopneas 50% Reduction in flow for 10 seconds 4 4

5 REVIEW AutoAdjust Non Responders PREVENT the pressure from INCREASING because increasing the pressure would cause more of a problem. Leaks (mouth breathing or mask leaks) Loss of Amplitude and Increase in Blower Speed (looks like hypopnea) Expiratory Puffing (In through nose, out through mouth) Central Apneas Loss of expiratory flow and tail 95% Reduction in Flow for 10 Seconds 5 5

6 Guidelines for Reading Autotitrating Studies What is driving the Responders What is holding the Non Responders What is the graph telling you? Details 6 6

7 What is driving the Flow limitation Snores Apneas Hypopneas Guidelines for Reading Autotitrating Studies 7 7

8 Guidelines for Reading Autotitrating Studies What is holding the Leaks Mouth breathing Mask leaks Expiratory puffing Central apneas Other 8 8

9 Guidelines for Reading Autotitrating Studies What is the graph telling you? Amount of pressure change Railing Adherence to therapy 9 9

10 Picking Fixed CPAP Pressure from AutoAdjust Information What does the Daily Summary show? Look at multiple days. What does the Pressure Trending show? Optimum Pressure Highest average pressure. Effective Pressure Mean pressure between Peak and Average What does the Cumulative Pressure show? Percentage is amount of time at or BELOW stated pressure

11 Prescribing Auto PAP Parameters to Adjust Pressure limits Lower pressure limit Upper Pressure limit Event definitions Apnea % Apnea duration Hypopnea % Hypopnea duration 11 11

12 Prescribing Auto PAP Parameters to Adjust Pressure limits (Routine setting of autotitrators) Lower pressure limit Comfortable for patient Suckin air Eliminate low pressure events Upper Pressure limit Prevent barotrauma Underlying lung disease Prevent non-adherence Patient not tolerating pressure so minimize setting so patient can tolerate high pressure limit 12 12

13 Prescribing Auto PAP Parameters to Adjust Event definitions Apnea % and duration More sensitive (less reduction) and respond quicker. Less (more reduction) and respond slower. Hypopnea % and duration. More sensitive (less reduction) and respond quicker Less sensitive (more reduction) and respond slower Most common adjustment to event definitions 13 13

14 Prescribing Auto PAP Formulas for setting pressure limits Default settings Leave settings alone and see what happens (AutoAdjust default is 5 lower pressure limit and 15 upper pressure limit) Certain Autotitrators Plus or minus a reference pressure 14 14
