However, there is one form of PB that is called Cheyne-Stokes Respiration (CSR) that is clearly associated with some forms of heart disease, including congestive heart failure. The AutoSet algorithm responds proportionally and so a metric is used for each condition to which it responds. The bit with colors needs to go down the left side, but again, wait please. Is there an actual physical difference in how the two machines are providing air pressure? [8][9], Neuromuscular diseases refer to a group of disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness due to problems in the muscles themselves or the nerves that supply them. This happens when a person has considerable airway resistance or obstruction which requires more work and more time to get the volume of air needed to satisfy respiratory needs.
