Luciano Camporese - Therapy Help
Hello folks,
Currently having a Res Med aircurve 10 machine, I still have many events (around 5 / h)  especially in REM phasis. I do not sleep very well because in the morning I am confused and not concentrated. In the afternoon I feel exhausted. I ll soon do a sleep -endoscopy I may have the basis of the tongue quite large which blocks the air , especially during REM phase. I do around 17 micro arousals / h.
I am young and quiet worried.  
What should I do ? Is the surgery dangerous ? what is it exactly ? 
I am currently doing some logopedic exercices everyday. 
I would like to wake up one day totally fresh and productive like a normal person.

RE: Check up
Welcome to Apnea Board,

Members here will be glad to help. Since you use OSCAR charts, if you can post a detailed daily chart with Events, Flow Rate, Mask Pressure, Leaks using F12 screenshot for Windows or fn F12 on Mac. Make sure the left panel is intact with calendar closed.

The ResMed ASV machine is pretty easy to tune up. Once thing I'm seeing now is possible Positional Apnea patterns where you are tucking your chin and kinking off the airway. Read up on that if you would fun my signature link.

How many Central Apnea were you dealing with before? This ASV is specifically used to treat those CA.
Mask Primer

Positional Apnea

Attach OSCAR, etc.

Enhancing of skills - using machine Asv ResMed 10
Hello guys,

I am 27, having apnea syndrome since I am a kid. It is getting worst and worst and I use an asv ResMed machine (10)  for the night. 
I am now at 4/5 episodes per hour. They are high especially at the end of the night. 
In the morning and during the day I feel confused, not productive, I have lack of concentration. I offense wake up at around 5am when the  major parts of the obstructive events take place. 

I would like to improve, I am currently doing logopedic exercises. 

I soule like to wake up one day felling very productive and not tired and not waking up at 5 am.

Can you list your settings? Add an OSCAR chart with Events, Flow Rate, Mask Pressure, and Leaks. Skip Flow Limit as you're on ASV.

We can help get this working well quickly. I myself used to have the same machine.

Hello, 

Thank you for your answer.

I do not have Oscar on my laptop but I asked the  company client of Res Med to share the data of my last night. Is it ok for you ?

Best regards

RE: Luciano Camporese - Therapy Help
Note the reason for my mistaken saying you have OSCAR, is listed in you user info. Can you edit this? Please consider getting OSCAR.

As is, I think you'll want to post screenshots of your sleep data. We would need some data to help you with the ASV settings.

I do have to ask, are you on the ResMed ASV? And what are the settings you use?
