RE: Flow Limitations, a problem or not?
The wonder of the ASV is that I can sleep even while in pain...anyway...I can see where Sleeprider is leading me, and its a good direction...
I understand that as there has been quite a gap between EPAP and min PS that there are many pressure changes happening that make the therapy uncomfortable...so onwards... Last night, SWJ 2:30 3:30 ish, some pain arousal, very spacey this morning, staying away from caffeine to see if it passes on its own...

RE: Flow Limitations, a problem or not?
The machine still average about 4 minimum PS, so take your time, but move forward incrementally as comfort allows. Next step is 3.4 PS min.

RE: Flow Limitations, a problem or not?
You will find increasing the MAX PS to 15 will help reduce the few UA and Hypopnea you still have

RE: Flow Limitations, a problem or not?
Hi there...
I have to be very careful with my Max PSsettings as I tend to start feeling worse with too much air... :-) Here is last night, less pain so very few events, the last portion I was propped up on two pillows, it eases the shoulder discomfort, seemed to work well... Oximeter for first part of last night ![[Image: lOjduOSm.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/lOjduOSm.jpg) last night on ASV... ![[Image: w557J5Om.png]](http://i.imgur.com/w557J5Om.png) Storywizard

RE: Flow Limitations, a problem or not?
At this point you're after comfort, not AHI. Do what feels best. I think the small boost in minimum PS helped, but I don't think I would turn up PS max past 12 in your case.
