Sleep Study

[Apnearon]

Second sleep study with cpap

Sorry this one is the first sleep study I did

[Apnearon]

sleep study 2

[Sleeprider]

Looks like a good study showing typical severe obstructive sleep apnea. Nothing unusual regarding central events. You should do great with CPAP. Auto CPAP is an obvious choice to save having to get a titration study, and the Resmed Autoset is the best auto CPAP based on its more responsive auto pressure algorithm that targets flow limitation and hypopnea, and gets ahead of obstructive apnea.

Last nights session

Your Sleep Study shows that you had PVCs overnight. This likely is not significant but is something that you should talk to your doctor about. Are you aware of any cardiac conditions?

With pressure induced leaks they had you on either the wrong mask or an improperly fitted mask.

Your chart indicates that you need more pressure than your study showed.

I would put your EPAP or exhale pressure at 9 and your IPAP or inhale pressure 2 above that.

This means
EPR On Full-time and EPR=2
Min pressure = 11
Max pressure = 13

This means that your exhalation will be easier because of the EPR,
pressures will start at Inhale of 11 and exhale or EPAP of 9 which treats Obstructive Apnea
The difference between inhale and exhale pressures will reduce your Flow Limits and RERA

Thank You Bonjour
I will try these setting tonight, or if I take a nap today.
I used the nasal pillow mask AND a c collar last night, I think the collar helped.
The ones that setup my cpap machine had it set, I heard the guy that setup the machine tell another guy there that he set it up, (I forgot the numbers) but the highest number was 16.
Cardiac problems, was unaware of any, but the doctor mentioned something related to the heart.
Thanks again 
Ron

Checked the 14th and setting were 8and 16

Using EPR should help with the flow limitations we see, and may even reduce the hypopnea. Your first session worked great, and Bonjour's recommended changes are exactly in line with what I'd suggest as well.

You really need to know how many arousals you had out of the 34/hr PLMD. Find out what they count and how many were arousals. PLMD is often grouped as well. I'd ask for the more detailed charts. They will be more detailed than oscar. I find it hard to see an excuse for a lab having a leaky mask that interfered with testing. Normally they would wake you up and fix it.

Your oscar chart shows how bad they messed up, even with your still leaky mask. Does your doctor work with the lab, why else would he send people there? This the first time I've seen, what I would call an inadequate study.
