Titration studies
Titration therapy delivers air under pressure to the upper airway via a mask worn during sleep. This prevents the airway from collapsing thereby eliminating snoring, apneas and improving quality of sleep.
We perform In-laboratory manual titration Overnight with Complete polysomnography set up to know:
Know when the patient is asleep
Real-time monitoring of respiratory events.
Various Titration therapies available (CPAP/BIPAP/ASV/AVAP)
Titration
A titration study is performed when a patient has been previously diagnosed with sleep apnea and is used to determine the optimal PAP settings which eliminate all or most apnea events.
CPAP Titration
A titration study is performed when a patient has been previously diagnosed with sleep apnea and has not found an optimal CPAP pressure and was not comfortable with the high pressure or events were not eliminated. Patient is placed on bi-level PAP the entire night, pressure is titrated to find optimal pressure that eliminates most events. Bilevel or BiPAP may be more comfortable for some patient with higher pressure requirements as it has two pressure settings: the prescribed pressure for inhalation (ipap), and a lower pressure for exhalation (epap).
Adaptive Servo Ventilation (ASV) Titration
An ASV titration study is performed when a patient has been previously diagnosed with sleep apnea and may benefit from using an ASV PAP device. Patient was previously diagnosed with sleep apnea usually central sleep apnea or Cheynes-Stokes respirations and is placed on ASV the entire night, pressure is titrated to find optimal pressure that eliminates most events.
AVAPS-AE Titration
AVAPS-AE AVAPS-AE is an Auto-titration Mode of Noninvasive ventilation designed to better treat Respiratory Insufficiency patients (OHS, COPD and NMD) in the hospital and homecare environments with targeted Tidal volume and Auto EPAP that Maintains patent upper airway at comfortable pressure and Auto backup rate that Applies an Auto backup rate near a patient’s resting rate.
