ASV, AVAPS, and CPAP Titrations: Practical Approaches to Asynchronies and Difficult Titrations

Session Format

Pre-Recorded

Session Type

Plenary Presentation

Topic Area

Sleep

Description

In-laboratory PAP titration studies aim to identify appropriate positive airway pressure (PAP) device settings to provide optimal patient benefit. Despite the use of guidelines to assist in titrations, unexpected physiologic responses, such as tachypnea or central apneas, may occur. Through clinical cases, the presenters will each address difficult PAP titrations, including treatment-emergent central sleep apnea, adaptive servo-ventilation, and average volume-assured pressure support. The goal is to provide participants with practical approaches to troubleshoot difficult titrations and asynchronies.

Learning Objective 1

Understand advanced settings of ASV and AVAPS to troubleshoot difficult titrations.

Learning Objective 2

Understand the pathophysiology and management of treatment-emergent central sleep apnea.
