RE: Newbie to CPAP [DanEm Therapy Thread]
You've already got some good advice going forward. But yes, it's not surprising to hear that your AHI is better with Resmed. A good few people have found precisely that.

RE: Newbie to CPAP [DanEm Therapy Thread]
Changing the pressure and EPR settings is not possible.
My CPAP was purchased through a sleep clinic. The respiratory therapist is the one that can remotely change most settings. There is noting in the menu I see to that effect. Hopefully she can allow me to access the settings. I will come back when I have talked to her.

You can order a Clinicians manual for your machine via Email. (Scroll down to Section Three.)

RE: Newbie to CPAP [DanEm Therapy Thread]
Wow, I now have access to all the settings.
Thank you OPalRose I will make the changes proposed by OpalRose and Ratchick and have a go at it for a few nights. Sorry if my replies are mixed up, I am not very familiar with this forum and have 2 threads going. Maybe you could tell me if there is a better way for me (and you) to do this. I have questions on both the medical aspects of apnea and the functions of the CPAP.

DanEm, I have merged your two threads. This keeps your history in one place and makes it easier for those that offer advice.

RE: DanEm [Therapy Thread]
Glad to see that you've already been pointed in the right direction to make those changes now. Good luck!

RE: DanEm [Therapy Thread]
Bonjour DanEm,
We are familiar enough with OSCAR that the language is not a big deal, BUT, it is much easier for many in English. The Advice you have above is what I would recommend so no changes. Once the clusters are resolved i suspect that your AHI will be in a low enough range to manage it mostly on how you feel, so in your subsequent post tell us your critical opinion of how you feel as your comfort will become the key to your settings through minor and infrequent changes. Je me sens bien, I feel good is NOT a good response, we want to know the little things.

RE: DanEm [Therapy Thread]
When I take a screenshot I get only a portion of the screen (top left corner).
It was working fine until today ? I looked everywhere I could for a setting to change without luck. Please help DanEm "If life hands you lemons, make lemonade! Words to live by, especially when you keep in mind that the only way to make them into lemonade is to squeeze the hell out of them."

Quote:01-10-2022, 06:52 AM The settings were made and used on Jan 10 and Jan 11. See screenshot. I am not feeling any different but I suppose I have to be patient. Do the readings tell you something more ? DanEm "If life hands you lemons, make lemonade!

RE: DanEm [Therapy Thread]
Your AHI is a little better, but I'm seeing a lot of event clustering at max pressure, and big flow limits. Do you have several pillows and how thick are they? Do you sleep curled up on your side? With EPR at 3 and pressure already maxing out at 17, I wonder if other people have any further ideas.
