RE: AHI gone a bit wrong
Increasing EPR without adding the same value to your starting IPAP pressure will most likely increase the hypopneas or OAs. OAs and hypopnea are controlled by your EPAP pressure. The EPR feature subtracts its value from the set pressure.

RE: AHI gone a bit wrong
Its a simple math issue.. The clinic has limited staff to see thousands of patients. They will never be able to keep up.
They are going to ask you "well how is it going"? As long as you say good. They will say see ya bye bye now... If you say Oh its bad the say hummm.. Well the machine should fix you..humm. Oh wait your AHI numbers are below 5, oh you are fine.. bye bye now.. Good luck Come back and tell us what they said..
Thank you,

RE: AHI gone a bit wrong
So if I increase EPR then do I need to increase the minimum APAP pressure, it's currently at 7. What do you suggest?

Hi Guys
I have been diddling along quite nicely for a while and had no problems until the last few nights. My pressure seems to be spiking quite high again and waking me up so I then reset and start agin. I have attached 3 Oscar screenshots, the first is what I conseider to be my 'normal' and the other 2 are from the last couple of days. Any insights into what is happening and why would be appreciated. Thanks

RE: AHI gone a bit wrong
It LOOKS. Like EPR is at 2, if so move to 3. Set your max to stop runaway high pressures. The flow limits is what is driving up the max pressure. Lower the max to 14. You can move up or down by now many obstructive apnea you have. More obstructive apnea move the max up, less pressure if obstructive are constant.

Thank you I will try that and see what happens over the next few days. I thought at some point I would need a bit tweaking |
