Re: Autoset 10 - does it have to be in APAP to record CSB?

I wondered this same thing regarding the CSR flagging and posted a question asking about it a couple weeks ago. When I was using my rental Airsense 10 AutoSet, it recorded an episode of CSR. It was in the bright green line above Large leak line in the left section that's directly above the pie chart...

Re: New machine and SleepyHead Data

That's good to know.
The CSR category is the first thing I look at every morning since having it occur, to keep a close watch on any possible issues.
Thanks, Pugsy. That's a relief to know I will still be able to see it if it happens again.

Re: New machine and SleepyHead Data

I just used my old profile. That may very well be the answer, that it only shows up if CSR is detected, but I went back to the beginning days of my therapy before the CSR episode, and the CSR was included in the flag graphs and also in the listing at the top of the selections under the pie graph. Is...

Re: New machine and SleepyHead Data

Yes, all the graphs are green in the flag thing, CSR just isn't one of the graphs included with my new machine. Also, on my previous machine, it was the top line in the far left section above large leaks, CA, UA, etc.

New machine and SleepyHead Data

I just completed my compliance with a used rental AirSense 10 AutoSet and turned it into my DME and got my new AirSense 10 Autoset yesterday. When I put my SD card in this morning to look at my data in SleepyHead, the Cheyne Stokes respiration listing, which was on the left side of the screen direct...

Re: Cheyne Stokes respiration - first time seeing it

I am interested in seeing hers as well. I monitor my reports every morning to keep an eye out for any CSR flagging. The fact that I haven't had any other episode other than the one night could mean that it may have been some error on the part of the machine and that could be the case with SleepyChar...

Re: Cheyne Stokes respiration - first time seeing it

I posted an image of Cheyne Stokes respiratation that was reported as such on my Airsense 10, back in Oct. Pugsy replied that it looked like real CSR and real centrals to her.

Re: After your initial diagnosis did you get to meet w/a Dr.?

In my case, I was required to meet with my sleep doctor, (a pulmonologist who specializes in sleep disorders) following my titration study, before he would prescribe cpap therapy. He only briefly went over my results and told me he would call in a prescription for a cpap machine to a local DME in my...

Re: Newbie's AHI higher than at sleep study

jtravel, thanks for your comment on EPR. I used it last night on a setting of 3. I slept 3 hours more than my usual 5, which I needed, but my AHI went up to 19, with CA's making up 15 of that number. My AHI may be higher due to the extra hours on the machine, or just a one night score. I'm going to ...

Re: Newbie's AHI higher than at sleep study

Thank you grayghost, for your reply. I will gladly try your suggestions. I have never used EPR, and I will turn that on tonight. I just placed an order for the mouthguard and will look into purchasing a cervical collar. I appreciate your help and Guest's, as well, on the best mouthguard to try. It's...

Re: Waited six months for a new mask, still waiting

I'm having problems with my DME, as well, here in SW VA. I'm looking to find a new DME and maybe that would be an option for you as well. I'm an hour's drive from the SE TN area, so that's where I'm planning to locate a new DME. It sounds like the one you had in TN was a great one. I would be gratef...

Re: Newbie's AHI higher than at sleep study

My report wasn't good this morning. It may be because of the electricity going off last night right before I went to bed. I lay there waiting for it to come back on, and fell asleep. I had horrible nightmares and woke choking and gasping for air a couple hours later. I recall this happening a few ti...
