Deciphering the prescription
I have just got a new prescrption: "Pressure increase from 8 cmH2O to 9 cmH2O Initial RDI 11/HR SaO2 80. Can anobody help me to decode it? Can I adjust my Z1 CPAP myself? Thank you.

RE: Deciphering the prescription
I put it through Google Translate and it came back with:


"Drukverhoging van 8 cm H2O tot 9 cm H2O Initiële RDI 11 / HR SaO2 80."
There.  I said it.

He wants the pressure bumped to 9. Your RHI is a little hig at 11 but your blood oxygen saturation is pretty low at 80*

Why the new script? Result of new sleep study? Review of meter results?

I kind of doubt that a 1 CM bump will do a whole lot, but what would I know? If your AHI is only 11, it might be just the ticket. Note that I'm not a certified Austrian or Swiss sleep doctor.

Thank you. Yes, that's a result of new sleep study.

P.S. RDI written on the prescription.

To adjust the machine yourself, get hold of the clinical manual. You can request a copy from Apnea Board at this address: https://www.apneaboard.com/adjust-cpap-p...tup-manual

Be careful to read the instructions on that page carefully so that our hard-working elves can send you the right document.
