AASM Titration Question & Answers
What is preferred as primary sensor to detect absence of airflow for identification of an apnea
✔️✔️that would be a oronasal thermal sensor.
CPAP titration algorithm for patients less than 12 years during full and split night should be
performed in what manner ✔️✔️upward titration at less than or equal to 1 cm in increments
over greater than or equal to 5 min periods and is continued according to the breathing events
occurring until you can reach greater than or equal to 30 mins without a breathing event.
Respiratory effort related arousals may be estimated by flattening of the inspiratory airflow
profile associated with an arousal when? ✔️✔️airflow changes do not meet criteria for apneas
or hypopneas
Sawtooth patterns in the unfiltered airflow or mask pressure tracings and or detection of
vibration by a Piezoelectric transducers or microphones applied to the neck are
✔️✔️acceptable methods for detecting snoring.
When you are seeing SaO2 desaturation/resaturation events occurring without associated
obstructive respiratory events this should indicate to you that you should ✔️✔️you should not
consider it in the decision to increase CPAP pressure in pediatric and adult patients.
The recommended highest pressure for a pediatric would be what ✔️✔️15
, On children and adults that are greater than 12 the highest pressure should be ✔️✔️20
Is there enough data to be sufficient for raising pressure in amounts larger than 2.5 cm?
✔️✔️NO there is not
Exploration of CPAP above the pressure at which control has been achieved should not exceed
how much ✔️✔️5cm h20
Is "DOWN" titration required ✔️✔️no, but it may be considered as an option
If you are decreasing your CPAP, is should be done by more than _______ with an interval no
shorter than _____ until there is reemergence of obstructive respiratory events. ✔️✔️1cmh2o,
10 mins.
A decrease in IPAP or setting BPAP in spontaneous-timed mode with backup rate may be
helpful if what occurs ✔️✔️treatment-emergent central apneas are observed.
Is there sufficient data to make any recommendations for split-night CPAP titration studies in
children that are less than 12 years ✔️✔️NO there is not
