RE: New CPAP User
Please check all the check boxes again. Both dropdowns.
You are missing Central Apneas and RERAs
RE: New CPAP User
Theraputical y I'd like you to try a min pressure of 7. Attack those obstructive Apneas a little stronger
RE: New CPAP User
My previous suggestion for EPR 3 is no longer valid wit the CA events. Those usually clear up on their own, but may be worse with higher EPR. Please leave EPR at 2 or reduce to 1.

RE: New CPAP User
From last night. From the entire view it looks like when the pressure gets to the bottom of ramping down to 9 the mask pressure becomes sporadic or flat lines (guessing this is my brain not telling my body to breathe?). Pressure then jumps to 11, obstructive event records at the top, then CA, and the ramp down starts again over 30 - 45 minutes and once we hit 9 it happens again. May be way off on the explanation though cool to see the data behind this. May be switch to a compatible o2/pulse monitor so I can add that to the graph too.
Thank you again

RE: New CPAP User
Try EPR =1 tonight.
If that doesn't work we can try EPR= 0
If that doesn't work we can talk about EERS which is about rebreathing a bit of your exhaled air to increase the amount of CO2 in your blood to raise the level to above your apneic threshold. BTW this is what lowering EPR is doing for you
