Titration 101: How to Titrate CPAP and Bi-level PAP with the OSA Patient
Approved by AARC and AAST • 1.5 HOURS
This presentation focuses on CPAP and BiPAP titration rationale and goals for OSA airway management using CPAP with C-Flex and BiPAP® with Bi-Flex systems. The physiologic titration goals, protocols and processes to be followed will be covered. Participants will develop an understanding of how a proper titration can impact acceptance of therapy and outcomes.



Titration 102: Identification of Complex Breathing Patterns and Titration with Servo Ventilation
Approved by AARC and AAST • 1.5 HOURS
This presentation focuses on the titration goals and identification of patients with complicated breathing patterns such as central sleep apnea, complex sleep apnea and periodic breathing. Participants will learn how to properly identify these patients and implement a titration protocol with the BiPAP autoSV® system to manage these patients in the sleep center. The presentation will also discuss the use of Encore® Pro data to better manage these patients in the home environment as well.



Titration 103: Identification and Treatment of Nocturnal Ventilation Disorders vs. OSA
Approved by AARC and AAST • 1.5 HOURS
This presentation focuses on the titration goals and identification of patients with nocturnal ventilation disorders such as central sleep apnea, obesity hypoventilation, hypoventilation due to neuromuscular or restrictive thoracic disorders. Participants will learn how to properly identify these patients and implement the appropriate titration protocol to better manage these patients in the sleep center. The presentation will also discuss the use of Encore Pro data to better manage the patient in the home environment as well.
