leak

leak
Hi there, I have a phillips respironics servo ventilator (ASV). My sleepyhead program is saying that lately i have significant periods of large leaks and my AHI has been averaging 9-13, yet the machine itself says :

1 day -0%
7 days -1%
30 days - 0%

My AHI :
1 day - 6.5
7 days - 7.8
30 days - 6.7
How do I know what is going on?
I use either a nasal mask resumed mirage fx or F & P pilairo.

thanks in advance
Huh

RE: leak
With a nasal mask, large leaks are often associated with opening the mouth... hence leaking out the mouth.
Leaks can effect therapy; likely if you fix the leaks, the AHI will improve.

Can you attach a screenshot from Sleepyhead?

RE: leak
Nice job on the attachment. The events at primarily hyponeas.
The machine is taking care of the CAs.

It says 0% in Large leak; I'm not sure that's true.
Can you try another screenshot with the leak graph in view?

RE: leak
I am not sure why you are doubting the 0 large leak number Mongo. The event chart shows the same thing and Angel's readings from the machine follow in the same vein. Preponderance of the evidence??? Big Grin

Best Regards,

Damn i tried to attach last nights view. It was so much better. I had the nose mask on and tried to sleep pretty much upright all night! I guess the quota is a daily thing? Will try again later. Thanks for your input
