[CPAP] Changed to P10 Recently - Help With Settings
#1
Changed to P10 Recently - Help With Settings
I recently went from using a Mirage FX to a Resmed P10 about a week ago. The transition was a lot smoother than when I first started therapy a year ago.

Over time I have changed my pressure with the previous mask, often setting it to around 8 - 11 or around there. My biggest issue was aerophagia. It's still something I am dealing with.

I used the previous settings as a starting point. I ended up settling for around 6 - 8 pressure.

I decided today to use OSCAR to get my results, in order to get the most of my settings. Thought I would post it here to see if there is anything I could change.


*One additional note is that I have changed my settings to "Full face" despite using Nasal Pillows. I saw it online as a recommendation. My results show an improvement since the change a few days ago, but I can also chalk that up to just getting used to the different mask. So, hard to say if it's better or not.

I attached screenshots of 3 of the last 5 days. I started therapy with the P10 on the 15th Jan, but decided to exclude those results as I thought them to be a little skewed.

Would appreciate any input!

Raise min and max pressure. Minimum at 7, max at 11. You're maxing out as well as swinging far too high from your minimum. Flow limits don't look too bad, but you could consider an EPR of 1.

EPR will greatly reduce and dampen pressure swings as it reduces flow limits which drive pressure changes. The pressure range suggested by alemon of 7-11 is appropriate, but I would increase EPR to on, full-time at setting 2 or 3.
