RE: What happened last night?
I seem to be slipping back to my old habits. After the first night with the nasal pillows I haven't had a night where I've kept the mask on all night.
2nd night I took it off at 12:30 AM and put it back on at 3:45 AM 3rd and 4th nights took it off at 2:30 AM and put it back on at 3:45 AM 5th night was better, kept it on until 4:45 AM and put it back on at 5:30 AM Last night I bumped the minimum pressure up to 9.5 because I felt like I wasn't getting enough air the previous nights. But not only did I take the mask off at about 2 AM but also turned the machine off. One thing I've noticed - and it was easier to see last night due to the short amount of time - is that the pressure goes up and down on a semi-regular basis. Is this ok?

Thats ok, philips doing this pressure pulses to check if the treatment is ok. But your equipment isnt ok, i think you have philips 560, not 460.

It raises pressure by 1.5cm over multiple minutes, to evaluate if there is any benefit to breathing waveform. If it thinks there isn't any benefit, it ramps it back down by 1.5cm. This is different from pressure pulses used to evaluate clear airway apnea, which occur within a period of less than a second. If your pressure waveform only has these ticks and no real rise in pressure, then you can safely transition to straight pressure.

[/align] I started out with straight pressure and found that I sleep better with the variable pressure. There are times when the pressure goes higher but other times there are just those spikes. For example here's the pressure from 2 nights ago:

I mentioned to my doctor that I had tried the APAP mode and thought that I was sleeping better with it, he suggested giving it a try for a few weeks and if I really did do better he'd change my prescription from a CPAP to an APAP.

Halfway through the night I woke up and realized the mask wasn't on, I found it on the floor in pieces... the hose was disconnected and the face mask was disconnected from the frame, I found it under the bed. It must have really annoyed me during the night. |
