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.

RE: Deciphering the prescription
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. OMMOHY

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. |
