Interpret Oscar Data - New Aircurve Vauto - Abletree - 04-21-2022 Thanks to You! - I had my first night last night on my new AirCurve Vauto. It replaced my AS10 I would appreciate it it you would look at my Oscar data and tell me what it means The machine was extremely comfortable. I believe I kept my headgear on for the full night - a first! I used a chin strap for the first time, so I don't believe I have any open mouth breathing events RE: Interpret Oscar Data - New Aircurve Vauto - Gideon - 04-21-2022 This looks good and you are feeling good. So essentially no changes. But two things. Change mode so the Flow Limit data will chart. Set mode = VAuto Set min epap = 7 Set PS=4 Set max IPAP = 11 Note the above will deliver exactly the same therapy as you are currently getting. Also Try turning off your ramp. RE: Interpret Oscar Data - New Aircurve Vauto - Abletree - 04-21-2022 Thank you. I wll make the changes & report RE: Interpret Oscar Data - New Aircurve Vauto - Abletree - 04-22-2022 Last night (2nd night) was interesting. I made the recommended changes from set mode "S" EPEP = 7/ IPAP = 11 to: Set mode = VAuto Set min epap = 7 Set PS=4 Set max IPAP = 11 Once again I had a rare, full night of sleep @7:41 hours and did not remove my mask. HOWEVER - The night began with GREAT DISCOMFORT and air ingestion/burping. I was not able to tolerate it, so I went ahead and changed the settings to: Set mode = VAuto Set min epap = 6 Set PS=4 Set max IPAP = 10 Also - Ramp OFF The change seemed to improve, or correct the air ingestion problem. I noticed my AHI also improved and I had no CA events - while the preceding night I had 3 CA events I can't tell if I notice improved sleep or rejuvenation. Still feeling a sense of fatigue. I'm working on fatigue from all angles - lab work, thyroid level control, testosterone hormone, weight loss, exercise, stress management etc. I haven't solved the oppressive fatigue I am experiencing yet I did notice some times of light sleep during the night. Semi dreaming/semi awake. It didn't feel like deep sleep. Maybe restlessness, maybe unknown arousal Any advice on what is happening is appreciated. Changes, ideas? What about the pressure change I wen ahead and did |
