Central Apneas

[Dave77]

My mouth this morning was a little dry but not to bad.  I will use the chin strap tonight and check the fit of the nasal mask.  I feel well and rested.  Total AHI last night was 4.5 - 3 bing CAs and the rest Hypopneas.  Thank you for your insight.

Good morning,
I have been experimenting with different pressures to see if I could limit my Central apneas.  The chart attached will show a lot of leaks but they don't seem to affect my apneas.  With the pressure at 7.00 to 8.40, I had two CAs and one Hypopnea at 10 sec.  No OAs, in fact wiith all my experimenting I think that I had 1 OA.  If I stayed at this rate of CAs and Hypopneas of only 10 sec. and no OAs, I think I should be happy.  Feel great.  Thoughts?  Thanks in advance.

The biggest change is you have EPR set at ramp-only, so you are not getting EPR during therapy. The number of events is down dramatically, so keep the EPR off. You have a lot of leaks that appear to be from your mouth. Whether they affect your apnea or not, you will sleep better if you get that under control.

Thank you! Will do.  I really appreciate your advice.
