English 9
The following example suggests periodic breathing due to the frequently occurring apneas.
However, when looking closely at the shape of the hyperpneas it can be seen that it is a typical OSA
period.
The AirSense 10 device reports the time during therapy in which it detected breathing patterns
indicative of CSR. It analyzes the patient's respiratory flow for apnea/hypopnea events, calculates
the time between these events, and characterizes the shape of breathing between them.
Respiratory effort related arousals reporting
Respiratory Effort Related Arousals (RERA) reporting is available on the AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her
in all modes.
RERAs are periods of increasing respiratory effort which are terminated by an arousal. Increasing
respiratory effort will be seen as airflow limitation.These flow-based RERA events are logged and
stored as summary and/or detailed data and can then be viewed in one of ResMed's patient
management systems.
