Another thing that may help is that it appears you've a Ramp in pressure of 4 for 20 minutes. I'd suggest considering turning ramp off as this cancels most to all therapy benefits for that time duration.

You may also lower the minimum pressure to 8.

That looks very good! It appears from that report that your events are positional. Otherwise, they would be spread out over your complete sleep session.

Looks like your pressure at 9.0 is doing the trick without the EPR . I'm all in for keeping the same. Central apnea is consistently inconsistent, so expect some variation, but at least the scary stuff is gone.

RE: looks like i have cheyne stokes..
Hi all,
It seems i'm still getting CA = (central?) events. So far not in the CSR pattern that I had before...but. Ideally I know I shouldn't get them at all, but what is the tipping point to contact the Dr. to get this addressed? is it more then X number of CA events? Do the new ASVs require another sleep test to get a new machine? Do they actually work?

RE: looks like i have cheyne stokes..
Based on this example, you cannot demonstrate a medical need for ASV. The wiki Justifying Advanced PAP covers the main criteria by insurance. http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php...P_Machines We have seen some members buy out of pocket with similarly low numbers of central events. In my opinion, you seem to experience respiratory instability near the apneic threshold, and it is likely this could be stabilized with EERS. http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php...ace_(EERS)

RE: looks like i have cheyne stokes..
To add in hopefully something useful; with the chart you've got here it's evidence of ASV not being medically necessary. I know it's one night on OSCAR. If you went for titration, and progressed into settings similar to what you have now and produce this result, then they'd not go further than this. As is, it's well treated and the jury would hand in that verdict.
Congrats BTW.

RE: looks like i have cheyne stokes..
Thanks SarcasticDave94 for your words of encouragement and positive vibes, I def need more of that since I tend to look at the negatives.
I assumed this wouldn't be looked at; or even qualify. I guess my question is what is the threshold of CAs per night that warrant a ASV? - just for my own education. greater than 30+ events/night? 50? etc? in my original screenshot where OSCAR reported CSR, I had 37 CA events in ~6 hours of sleep. (Thou, I only get CA events infrequently and if they do happen it is usually under 30events a night.) This was the max I ever had and so far in the past week nothing even close to that amount (after changing EPR to 1, seems to have helped) Thanks Sleeprider, Never heard of EERS, until now. Seems like an interesting DYI project. I wonder why its not produced by resmed or simliar? Thanks again -

It's not events per night, it is events per hour.
