New Machine - Feedback on the Data?

RE: New Machine - Feedback on the Data?
This is the point at which I simply say, you have arrived, and there is little more I can offer. Your strategies to resolve minor issues that arise, are very sound, and you are in the best position to assess their efficacy and comfort. This is an example of someone using the forum resources and getting sound advise to get started, then learning the important principles to self-manage the care. Well done!

If there is anything we can help with, just ask and we can bounce around ideas, but you are now the master of your own therapy.

RE: New Machine - Feedback on the Data?
Hi Ajack, 
  • 90% & 95% always run away from me no matter the mins I set, so on the ASV I would be at Min EPAP 10.0 and still see 90% at 11.5.  I found more success studying & addressing the other pressure level consistencies at interesting points in the Flow Rate waveform (studying each recorded event and near-hypopneas).  Then after getting into the general ballpark working the EPAP and PS knobs together at the same time to fine tune. 
  • I fully agree with your statement that there is more than one way to skin a cat, and would recommend people who are unsatisfied and have hit a wall to look at other best practice approaches found in this forum as a possible set of next steps. 
  • I am seeing too much consistency to do much tweaking from the current settings.  As long as this approach keeps working I am mostly done.    Overtime as my body gets more used to the therapy I will try slight tuning to continue to lower average heart rate another 5-7 bpm and and lower average morning blood pressure back down another 7-8 points.   But for the most part I am mostly through tuning for now.

  
Sleeprider, 

In 50 days we have come so wonderfully far from painfully high pressures and an wildly varying AHIs  4.8-13.5 on the APAP.  

You guys, the community and the info in all the FAQs, and other threads have been so helpful.  
  

Thank You All so Much!!!

Thanks
