RE: I need some advise please [on AHI results]
Sleeprider,
I need some help again. I switched to the new AirTouch F20 full face mask.
I do not have any more OA's, just CA's and H's.
How do I get rid of them or do I even try.
Once again thanks for your help and,
I remain, respectfully,
Jarhead (Hal)
I am attaching last night's results

RE: I need some advise please [on AHI results]
It's been a while. When we last spoke you were using PS 6.0 with pressures of 9.4 to 15.4, and now you're at PS 3.4 over 7.0 to 13.0. I'm a little surprised to see the centrals here, and think it might be a good idea to give this more time before deciding on a change. The switch to a different model of FFM should not have made a dramatic difference by itself. Both of the central apnea clusters were shortly after a therapy break and are more likely a sleep onset issue and the rest of the session looks pretty good.
Let's just keep an eye on it.

Sleeprider,
Well i switched from Nasal to FFP and the pressure on Nasal was just to strong for the FFM. But thank you, I will monitor it a week.

Normally, a lower pressure is needed for nasal therapy vs FFM, but perhaps exceptions are the rule when it comes to CPAP.

Sleeprider,
Please find attached, my results for the past week.
As usual, thanks for your help.

Your numbers look good to me. You have a level of CA's that your machine won't treat but not at a high enough level to worry about.

Thank you for your opinion.

There was a time I wasn't certain you would consistently be under 5 AHI with all the flow limitation, OA and sensitivity to excess pressure support. Except for the central cluster on 8/13, you seem to have resolved that issue with the PS 3.4 and 7-13 pressure. I didn't expect it, but this looks pretty darn good considering the history. Hope it feels as good as it looks. Consider where we started; it sure looks like success to me:

Sleeprider,
Wonderful. I will continue to do what i am doing.
Thanks for all your help and i will check in at some point in the future.

Good Evening Sleeprider,
It's been a while since I posted anything but I switched to a Resmed ASV machine and pretty much all my results look like the one that I have posted below.
I have been using the Resmed F20 airtouch FFM and I have pretty much cleared up all the OA's and the CA's, so I feel i am doing pretty good.
Just wanted to post my last night's results for you to look over.
All the Best
Jarhead
