RE: AirSense 10 running on Auto/EPR ON..Respirator Rate spikes?
Thanks again, you are great Smile

Here's one of the RERA's, I put the flow limitation on the bottom so you can see it.

Also, I didn't plan this. But I actually fell asleep on my side (which is not a thing I THOUGHT I could do) and probably stayed there for 4 hours until "bathroom time". 1 RERA (but I need to look at it more closely).

This confirms wat I was saying before, the flow limitation is gradually increasing, but the algorithm doesn’t detect it until it’s already severe. The algorithm determines flow limits on a time averaged basis, and unless peak flow is significantly lower than previous respiration in the past 30 to 90 seconds (I don’t know the algorithm specifics) it is not flagged or graphed.

You've been super helpful thanks :Smile This stuff is actually really fascinating.

"I don't think you need to go to a soft cervical collar, but do consider your pillows and sleep position as tools to improve this."

So, I'm not a side sleeper by nature (was super suprised that I slept on my side last night. SUPER). Sooooooo, what are reasonable next steps, assuming supine is kind of the "default" position.

I can tell you that I wake up with my mouth somewhat open, pretty normal for me.

Okay, so I raised the min pressure to 9.0 and now I'm seeing big swings in the flow rate during deep sleep, as well as resp rate spikes.

Didn't see this on 5.0-20.0 but I did see events. namely the RERA's.
