ResMed AirCurve 10 VAuto Setup Bilevel : Clinical Menu Set up and Settings Explained

[@DennyBob521]

I’ve been on BiPAP since January 2006 and I believe it saved my life. I’ve been adjusting my pressure up and down to keep my AHI as low as possible for years, with a Respironics Dreamstation, and a System One before that. So I’m new to ResMed Vcurve Auto 10. Thanks for the info, I find it unusual that my IPAP and EPAP are so close together based on what I’ve seen here, and what my friends have for pressures. Mine are 10 and 12. That’s what I’ve been prescribed. I’ve adjusted those over time. I’ve lost 70 pounds since April 2023 and 100 total since Sept 2021, so I really need to change my pressure. I think it’s too high for a much skinnier me.

[@BabyteethMore]

Same! Mine were prescribed very high but only a difference of 2! I am adjusting both down in 10% increments due to morning ribcage soreness the high pressure is causing. So far so good.

[@michaelvercimak2594]

When I was prescribed BiPAP my A:H index was 46 and I was desaturating down to 72% with arrhythmias.. When I went to get help from a home supplier they told me no machines were available and it would be six months at least before I could get one. Several suppliers were rude an in the end they left me twisting in the breeze. I bought an air curve 10 off the internet but could not get in the menu to set the pressures. This video showed me how and probably saved my life.

[@the-mentat]

Very insightful. I just switched from CPAP to BiPAP. My first night, I felt the inhalation stopped prematurely, which was annoying. This video helped me understand the settings properly. I actually did change the Ti Max from the default of 0.3 to 2.0 to 1.0 to 4.0. I tested my average inhalation time, at least while being awake, and it was 2.5 to 3.5 seconds. I noticed that even then it was too sensitive so I adjusted the cycle setting to low and it became much easier and normal feeling breathing.

[@ellenbrown5542]

I started my bipap therapy a couple years ago. I have used it on and off. I started pulling my mask off during the night so I quit using it all together. Cardiac Dr said it will worsen my afib if I don’t use it, so I went back to the lung Dr. That was a year ago. He said he would call and have my settings changed. After 6 phone calls to the Dr’s office and several to Lincare it’s still not adjusted. It will be another month or more to get back into the Drs office to get the settings changed. I am going to use this video to try to set it myself. Thank you for the help.

My RT refused to tell me how to get into the machine extra settings. I figured it out anyway. I just had another sleep study because I was having over 40 episodes an hour using my new ResMed Air Curve 10 VAuto machine. I used the smartphone app to tell me the data. I have central sleep apnea so they did another sleep study to figure out my settings. Thanks for all the information about the pressure support etc. That is very useful. I was wondering what the difference in V auto was from the S therapy settings and CPAP.

[@chuckmitchell2713]

I'm so glad I found your channel and these great videos (even with the corny jokes! ;-)) I've fought with sleep apnea for over 15 years, through several incompetent DMEs and doctors, and, of course, the recall. When I received my AirCurve 10 six weeks ago I was so hopeful that it might finally solve my issues. Instead, I had horrible numbers with dozens of rapidly repeating CA hits. My current DME and doctor were unable, or unwilling to read the charts. So with your help I figured them out and with this video have been learning to adjust the parameters to finally get real sleep the past few nights. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm checking your other webpage to look into having a consultation in the near future.

[@vinnyg2619]

Thanks for the video! I had to replace my Aircurve 10 S due to the motor whirring and the DME replaced it and gave me a Vauto, so you gave me a quick lesson on how to set it with auto. If it doesn't work out I'll set it to "S" mode and use it as a standard bilevel machine. Thanks again!

[@AndrewHedlund100]

Thank you for making this video I have yet to find my rhythm with CPAP after being diagnosed over a year ago and my doctor is kind of flaky. I find myself consciously breathing a lot even when awake and when I stop thinking about my breathing and my breath softens there’s a hell of a lot of resistance on the Exhale most in my nasal area So I’m trying to find the right pressure on the exhale I don’t think the inhale this is much of a problem thanks

[@UUBrahman]

Try a difference of 2, so inhale is set to 10, exhale might be set to 8. Just a suggestion.

[@darkandlovely]

I didn't see this in the video, and at my facility we use these machines all of the time, what happens when you turn PS off in VAUTO mode? Does it mimic "S" mode then or is it auto CPAP? Is there an Auto CPAP on this machine or a way to mimic it? TIA

[@amorphousblob]

Am I correct to assume the bilevel algorithm doesn't have the same problems as EPR, where it often ramps up too late during the breath to be useful (thus having to compensate by raising the min pressure 1-3 depending on what EPR is set to)?

Question, but first Thank you for doing this you might have just saved my life. I will try and be as brief as possible. I have this bipap but my sleep therapy session was with the Phillips dream and we just determined my iPap and epap which was 17 over 11. And it worked great for me my lungs are bad born with asthma and COPD in 2000. I am over 300 pounds. I was on two different recalled Phillips units for over two years both had factory recalls when given to me. Now my lungs are less then 38% i had to get this respironics talking medicaid into paying for a third one as Phillips never replaced the recalled ones. Its hard for me to leave the house so my wife picked this model up and they just gave me the same pre set numbers. But my condition had worsened since I first went on a bipap over two years ago. So my problem I'm having is , one I feel like I am not getting enough pressure and two that my breath when breathing in it isn't picking up and shoving the air in fast enough and it's not keeping it going in long enough. The meter I watch climbs and maxes out and I am still breathing in. So I changed my iPap after starting at 19 came down to 18 that felt right but kept my epap at 11. But I am having the same problem. Should I go back to original numbers 17 over 11 and raise my trigger time to high ? Please help me as I am terrified of falling asleep as I am waking up with bipap after ten mins having 7 times stopped breathing. I'm exhausted and don't trust anyone in this industry right now after Phillips and the medical supply company giving me a federally recalled unit two different times a year after recall and let me use them for two years. Thank you sorry it's long I'm tired.

[@geraldchilders2625]

I felt like I wasn’t getting enough air I tried cpap level 20 and I get good sleep now I could never find the right setting on vpap mode I tried lots just never felt right

[@matty00926]

I think you have the rise time backwards, 900ms is a much slower rise from EPAP to set IPAP, than 300, 200, min, etc,. Rise time at min is essentially a whack in the face.

[@Freecpapadvice]

Is that not what I said? 100 milliseconds is faster than 900 milliseconds. Time it takes to reach full inhalation is 100 milliseconds, faster than taking 900 milliseconds to reach full inhalation.

I wish this machine had a "fall time" setting. Adjusting the rise time prevents me from feeling like I'm getting smacked in the face. But since the switch back to EPAP is instantaneous, it makes me feel like the rug is getting pulled out from under me. That's why I use easy breathe, even though I suspect it prevents me from spending enough time at my prescribed ipap pressure

[@papajim1974]

How & where do you attach a bacterial filter in Aircurve 10S?

[@randytaylor7828]

New to the Bpap world. Great video. I had two sleep studies. Then a machine was sent to me. I'm having the same issue at home as I did during my sleep studies. Everything feels great until my pressures ramp up so high it compromises my face mask. This wakes me up. I complained about this during the study but the machine I received does the same thing. I can't tighten my mask any more because it's uncomfortable.

[@heavydownpour560]

I have the same problem. My iPad is set at 21.0 and my epiphany is at 17.0. When it ramps up and this is to its fullest potential, I have leaks on the side and in the eyes. I’ve tried the dreamwear that fits under the nose and over the mouth but I don’t sleep as well with it. It feels better on my head but doesn’t work as good as my full face mask with the straps that I adjust and readjust about every night. I’ve made myself wear it and I went from 76 events to 3 and I still feel rested even with 5.5 hours avg sleep. I have a beard and I know it causes some leakages. Best thing to do is talk to your dr or the folks that sent you your machine and get them to help you with it. I don’t know if I’ve been any help, but I can sympathize with you.

[@Neighvmom]

Randy my husband has the exact issue you do. We set it at 45 minute ramp, at the end of the ramp it kicks the pressure up so high, it blows the mask off his face and wakes him up. Did they find a solution for you? We have had this machine a month and they can't seem to make any more adjustments to see if he can stop the pressure from jumping so high at the end of ramp. In his sleep study, the machine did the same thing, so the tech put a rubber band thing on my husbands head to keep the mask on his face. Frustrated

[@donnaclifford3688]

Try asking your doc if you can turn off the ramp time and go by your set pressure i did that and i have very little issues

[@spamcan9208]

Your pressure sounds too high. Ramp time is a lie, there's no ramping. My "ramp" pressure nearly doubled instantly after the timer expired. The pressure was so intense that it was no different than sticking your head out of a car window on the highway. My cheeks were fully puffed out like Dizzy Gillespie.

I was having the same issues and bought the pillow mask that just goes on the nose, surprisingly I Can sleep with my mouth shut haha seems to work better and it’s easier to yawn ect. but am still not wearing it through the night. Going to try and play with the ramping. Hence why I’m here…

[@cynthiaybarra7317]

If I'm understanding this correctly, my prescribed EPAP of 15 is what is controlling my obstructive apneas? My IPAP of 19 is what is handling my centrals and hypopneas? I'm on bilevel because I couldn't tolerate CPAP during my sleep study 5 years ago. I struggled exhaling against the pressure and didn't fully fall asleep until the tech switched me to bilevel. I recently lowered my pressures by 1 and I've noticed my high leak rate has drastically reduced, my centrals have reduced, my osa hasn't worsened, and I've never had many hypopneas. I'm thinking about reducing my pressure relief to see if I can get it to where, in the future, I can get a CPAP machine instead of a bilevel, but I thought the IPAP would be what handles my osa, not my EPAP, that's very interesting. I'm excited to try reducing my IPAP, it would be AMAZING to have my pressure be 14!

Hi lankylefty I have a question ;my current place of employment is saying that in VAuto mode if you leave the pressure support at 0 that makes the VAuto into a autoset cpap. I’m confused as my reading the manual doesn’t support that thought. I could be wrong but I thought APAP is Resmed’s mode for that. I can’t get anyone on Resmed to call me back so wondering what your take is? If the doctor orders autoset with a max epap of 20 and a min epap 5 yet I place him on VAuto with ipap 20 and epap 5 and zero PS isn’t that the same?

[@dfunkmale]

I have the opposite issue. I've found adjusting the trigger and cycle settings to be helpful. In your case, what you might want to try is decrease the trigger sensitivity. If you're a slow, shallow breather, maybe that will prevent some "false" ipap events. You can also consider increasing the cycle sensitivity, which will make it easier for you to initiate switching to the epap pressure.

Finally Bilevel gets some love yay! But the DSX900 BiPAP AutoSV is the best BiPAP :P

[@Freecpapadvice]

Mail me one. Respironics never want's to send me any love. 🥲

15:48 Hey Jason, do you mean increase the ipap to take care of the obstructive apnea?

[@Freecpapadvice]

No. Increase EPAP (lower of the two pressures) to eliminate obstructive apneas.

Excellent video!

I have the ability to buy this machine very very cheap I started cpap about 2 months ago and I just hate the relief from my 10 auto set …. Is this a good solution to make cpap more comfortable

[@DeanoRolls]

I didn’t change any of the CPAP machine settings you talked about in this video (because I don’t have one) BUT all I know is I now comment from my channel like you told me to do. You say it...I do it!!!

[@DeanoRolls]

I now fully expect your 40K subscribers will follow old deano’s walking in the woods videos!!!

[@Freecpapadvice]

If you could hike around while wearing a CPAP mask, holding a portable power pack in one hand (to power it), and a running CPAP machine in the other......no lie.....I will give you a shout out on my channel!!!

Thanks for the "mini" class, a little more clarification on adjustments related to difficulties would be awesome. Example: my Aircurve 10 current settings are causing my exhalation effort to be too high. Would I just tweak the "EPAP" to find a better pressure? Thanks!

[@VickysTuition]

i think, @5:38 there is a mistake ! Higher Rise Time of 900ms means its a slower breath, NOT fast ! Similarly, Rise Time of 150ms very quickly changes from Epap to Ipap suggesting that it is a fast breath

[@Freecpapadvice]

If I said that wrong...apologies. Yes, longer time equals slower breath.
