RE: New charts !!!
yep. ajack, sleeprider, and roby sue all had good potential things to try. nearly all the past week records you up in about the 11 to 12 range for most of each and every night. I had to look at some of them close to see that the data had changed, because the nights looked so similar.
If these were mine, in light of the CAs caused in the past, I would make changes slowly. I would pick my next step as 10.5 min to 12.5 max. Increasing the max by more than 1 (to any more than 13) just wouldn't be my first move. Spending a week at each setting is not a bad move, and that is what I would do at this point. QAL

Ill change them tonight to 10 min and 12.5 max for a couple of days. This sounds good?

yep. and I would not expect this to have a great effect on the AHI, maybe between 5 and 9.

It reduces the pressure (by a variable amount) at the beginning of each exhalation, which makes it easier to exhale. Look in the clinical set up menu to see if Flex is turned off or on. If Flex is turned on, you should be able to get into a trial mode where you can compare the way Flex = 1, 2, or 3 feels and pick the one that feels the most natural to you. Aerophagia is the fancy name for "air in the stomach". Some people (like me) have real problems with swallowing air while on xPAP. If enough air gets trapped in the stomach, it can hurt quite bad. More moderate amounts of air can lead to more burping and farting during the morning after you get up.

You can adjust up slowly, there is no rush. It's heading in the right direction. I still think min 11 and max 15 is about right and I'd try it at some stage. The dreamstation can be a bit slow to react sometimes, but as you work your way up to 11, we can see if that is going to be enough.

For auto-cpap, from machine data or software. You can set the min pressure 1 or 2cm below 95%. Or clinicians commonly use the maximum or 95% pressure for fixed pressure CPAP, this can also be used for min pressure. https://aasm.org/resources/practiceparam...rating.pdf |
