CPAP/BIPAP/ASV/AVAPS/Titration Study

CPAP/BIPAP/ASV/AVAPS/Titration Study

Is a nighttime study using a nasal CPAP or other advanced modalities like BIPAP/ AVAPS/ ASV. The diagnostic equipment used in this study is the same as the PSG with the addition of a nasal mask. This device blows air through a mask into the nasal passages and prevents upper airway closure during sleep. This test determines the correct air pressure needed to effectively maintain an open airway. These overnight sleep studies are used to test patients with CPAP, Bilevel or ASV machines to assess the response to treatment and to accurately determine the pressure settings needed to control sleep apnea.
