RE: UARS and APAP - slowriter - 01-04-2020 Just an update. For past six weeks, I've been at a higher min EPAP, based on hypothesis I want settings that minimize pressure changes. I doubt this alone accounts for subsequent improvement in sleep, and that time is a more likely factor (I'm at close to six months at this point), but quantity and quality of sleep has consistently, with some deviations, been improving over this time. A few times over past week or two I've slept over 8, and even 9, hours without waking up at all, which was a goal I articulated earlier in this thread. [attachment=18675] PS - Could a mod please change the thread title to something like "UARS, APAP, bielevel" to better reflect it's evolution? RE: UARS and APAP - geauxdbl - 02-01-2020 For what it's worth, thank you for this thread -- I just finished making my way through it as I have a similar situation and a VAuto as well, and I've learned a lot.

Such a good reminder, geauxbl. These threads so often help not just the OP but other members as well. In a way, raising your problem to the community can be a way of giving to the community. How about that!

Thanks! That was my hope. I noticed a lot of threads seem to end prematurely when OPs either figure it out, and so don't have anything to report, or give up. Good luck with the VAuto. RE: Treating UARS with CPAP and bilevel - slowriter - 02-15-2020 Another update, mostly to include the Dreem 2-derived sleep stage data I've been keeping track of (though not too closely). The attached screenshot is from a pre-release version of OSCAR that includes Dreem import. There are two things I pay attention to, more than others, from the tracker:
[attachment=19977][attachment=19976] RE: Treating UARS with CPAP and bilevel - Dormeo - 02-15-2020 Slowriter, do we know when this version of Oscar might be released? I'm feeling motivated by this prospect to try a Dreem device.

I'm feeling motivated by this prospect to try a Dreem device. When it is ready. We have made major changes to the code that reads and stores the SD Card data, that part should be transparent to you the user, but it does enable us to make more changes going forward. We are internally testing those now working towards our next Beta, Beta 2. RE: Treating UARS with CPAP and bilevel - tarah - 02-16-2020 Do you have any sense of what the one or two breath large intakes/exhales of air are that occur every 15-30 minutes? Like where the flowrate is just going along pretty steady and then there's a single breath which is large? Is it sleep stage transitions? limb movement/kicks? I have these as well and I'm trying to chase down what they are because they are sometimes followed by arousals.

No, but I'd be curious for an answer as well! What I can say:
