large leak but low AHI
I have res med 10 auto. If you develop a large leak (>25) but AHI remains < 1 and you sleep well is there any down issue or problem with that?

RE: large leak but low AHI
The machine can only detect a problem by changes pressure and flow. During a large leak it's doubtful the reporting of other then a large leak is accurate.

Not unless it increases your flow limitations and they end up bothering you. I would still attempt to fix the leak though since leaks that large can’t be made up for easily by the machine. I personally shoot for under 12. If I keep relatively clean shaven I don’t find it difficult to do so. If you post a chart it would give us a better idea if the leak is effecting your therapy.

Have you ever tried FFM Liners to control your large leaks.
I find using 1,2 or even 3 FFM liners can help. How many will work for you is strictly a trial and error thing. For my therapy, I can make just about any FFM work simply by adding Liners. Best Wishes; Dan |
