[CPAP] 6 months on CPAP, looking to optimize it
#1
6 months on CPAP, looking to optimize it
Hello all, I currently am 6 months on CPAP therapy. I use a P10 and tape my mouth since I am a mouth breather at night. I was wondering if you could check my scores and give me any tips. I do feel BETTER but still sleepy. My MAIN issue is I'm only sleeping about 5-6 hours, waking up 2-3 times a night. Before CPAP, I used to sleep 8 hours uninterrupted. I'm used to the mask and everything, so not sure what it could be. Here are my OSCAR reports. Any help would be amazing.

Last one.

RE: 6 months on CPAP, looking to optimize it
You have good therapy figures, but you still cannot sleep uninterrupted. Perhaps the pressure adjustments disturb you. To check it out, you might want to try the following setting and see whether it is better or not.
Pressure minimum 9.8 cm
Pressure maximum 9.8 cm
While the rest of the parameters should not be altered.

Thank you so much for the help. I'll try that tonight and update with the results. Is there anyway to set decimals in the resmed menu? I only managed to do whole numbers

RE: 6 months on CPAP, looking to optimize it
I can set the decimals in the clinical menu by turning the front knob both in AirSense 10 and AirCurve 10. I.e. the step size is 0.2 cm. I do not have the 11th model, so I cannot check it out.   
If you can only make a whole cm step,  set both pressures to 10 cm.
