newbie looking to get machine dialed in
Just started APAP on Tuesday night, so far feeling like I am doing well getting used to everything. But wanted to see if there is anything I should do at this point to get the machine better dialed in to me. I have noticed a slight increase in CA events as the week has gone on.

RE: newbie looking to get machine dialed in
Things look quite grand. You have done a very good job with your pressure and other settings. The central apnoea's are likely TECA (Treatment Emergent Central Apnoea) and will start reducing over a few days to weeks. If not we can address them later.
Consider increasing your min pressure from 6 to 7 and reducing the max pressure from 20 to 14. So the change to settings would be: Min pressure 7 Max pressure 14 EPR 1 full-time No ramp Depending on how the flow limitations look after that change you could move EPR from 1 to 2. One change at a time, so let us see how you respond to the pressure change first. Give that a go for a day to two and we can help adjust from there. Lots of very smart folks here to help.

RE: newbie looking to get machine dialed in
I would say that worked out well
AHI down to 0.12, and I didnt wake up that I remember at least with air flowing out of my mouth. I know my apena was mild to start with but that was the best night of sleep I can remember in a long long time. Hopefully this continues |
