Re: Sleep Study, O2, Do I have UARS

It's hard enough to diagnose UARS with RERAs recorded.....Impossible without that data point.

Re: Anyone else experiencing connection problems here on the forum

Over a dozen of the error message already happening.
Yesterday well over 100.
Sometimes slow to load and sometimes not so slow.

Re: Woke Up Gasping

You might add your machine model to your comments section of your profile since it isn't available from the equipment menu. Will avoid confusion later.
Just don't choose a machine from the drop down menu.

Re: Woke Up Gasping

Ahhhhh.
Then you simply won't have the flow limitation graph to evaluate since you don't have auto mode.

Re: Does the air curve 11 have a memory card

I don't know if ResMed is shipping the Air Curve 11 machines with a SD card included or not but it has a spot for a SD card.

See page 5

Re: Woke Up Gasping

I believe that when using the AirCurve in S mode (fixed bilevel pressures) that the FL sensor is disabled and that's why no flow limitation graph. It's my understanding that a person needs to use Auto Bilevel mode to get FL graphs. You can still use the same settings if you wish ....just change to A...

Re: OSCAR Question About Pressure

Top pressure line is the inhale pressure.
Bottom pressure line is the exhale pressure.

You must be using EPR or exhale pressure relief.

If you weren't using any exhale relief you would see one single pressure.

Re: Night One on BiPAP

Your nice low AHI may not mean all that much if the machine is missing sensing & recording apnea events due to the excessive leaks compromising the machine's sensors. Is the AHI nice and low because nothing happened or because the machine was clueless during the large leak times???? It's one night t...

See the snippet below....A big mess of centrals and can't blame it on SWJ either. Asleep for sure when all that crap happened. I am still trying to sort all that crap out. Never had that happen before. Pugsy, isn't that perfectly formed waxing & waning sinusoidal breathing called Periodic Breathing...

Re: Centrals?

Hold your breath for 15 seconds....that's essentially a 15 second central apnea...the airway is open but no air is moving but that's because you aren't even trying to breathe. But I wasn't holding my breath... believe me, I know how to breathe normally when laying in bed awake on CPAP. I induced CA...

Re: Centrals?

For it to be a central apnea that really matters you have to be asleep when it happens. Hold your breath for 15 seconds....that's essentially a 15 second central apnea...the airway is open but no air is moving but that's because you aren't even trying to breathe. You are pausing your breathing while...
