Please can you help me adjust my airsense 10 autoset

Please could you help me set up my resmed airsense 10 autoset

I have taken to it really well but Im still waiting on my official sleep study - any help would be gratefully appreciated. 

Many thanks

Welcome to the forum.

Min pressure should not be less than 4 + EPR to give EPR room to work. Thus your Min should currently be no less than 7. But set it to 8 based on the chart and to even out the pressure differential.
Lower EPR to 2 to decrease the Central Apnea.
The Flow Limits chart is missing, it is important because that is a major driver in increasing the pressures.

I agree with bonjour. Minimum pressure 8.0, Maximum pressure 14.0, EPR 2. Your 95% flow limitation is only 0.02, so not much of a problem, however when we see obstructive apnea, we know that exhale pressure or minimum pressure needs to be increased.

Use f12 to take a screen shot. It puts all together in the picture. Make sure all charts “flow limits” are included.

Flow limit graph attached. 

I have also attached a screenshot for reference

   

Many thanks

- I tried bumping up to a min of 8 last night and EPR of 2 - I think I woke up to use the toilet and didnt restart the damn cpap so will try again tonight. I woke up groggy as hell today

Apologies, flow limit below

When you post take out the calendar by clicking on the small triangle in the calendar. It allows us to see other settings.

With pressure at 6.0 to 14.0 EPR 3, your pressure is fluctuating a lot. For EPR at 3 we recommned a minimum pressure of 7.0 to start wtih the EPAP pressure at 4.0, and in your case with the OA events, A higher minimum pressure is going to prevent more events, and be less disruptive to your sleep. If CA events continue, we can reduce EPR to 2. The 95% flow limit is 0.02 which is very good, and flow limits are not a factor in your current therapy. Based on results at 7-14 EPR 3 we can make further optimization after seeing results at the new settings.

Thank you all for your reply. 

I changed my setting to a 7 minimum - any advice would be gratefully appreciated

and here is the complete data set attached.

This told us much of what we needed to know. Keep the same settings and reduce EPR to 1.

cheers @sleeprider - ill give it a try and report back. 

Do you think I definitely have sleep apnea ?
