Re: Help dialing in settings
I know LL doesn't like EPR (or auto settings). I don't fully understand why. True, for a small number of people, EPR can increase the number of CAs, but often those CAs are happening after arousal breathing, and it's the arousal, not the CA itself, that's problematic. What is true for a small numbe...

Re: Newbie and confused.
I can you tell from personal experience that the F30 has an excellent diffuser and does not blow cold air anywhere. Ask your suppliers about a diffuser for the F30i Isn't the only difference between the F30 and F30i that the hose attachment on the i rests on the head? No. Thanks, but not sure thoug...

Re: BiPap - Severe bloating no matter what I do
This is not the first time I've seen this happen... typically folks wake up with the mask off and wonder why? When we get a look at the graph we see... the machine decided *no soup for you*. Let us know how it goes, glad to help. I use AutoStart on my AS10. It turns the machine on when I start brea...

Re: Newbie and confused.
Welcome to the forum bran. I do question a few things though. How is it possible to record any "events" in 55 minutes when you have not been asleep at all and then they state you had 10.9 events plus during that time when I was fiddling around with the mask, as air was escaping and again during that...

Re: Has anyone experienced air in their scalp
No need to post in two threads. https://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic/t188083/Feeling-of-fluid-on-my-scalp.html I did have a meningitis tumour removed 20 years ago so there was some work done on my head..,maybe that helps explain it? I find it makes me anxious…I just want to know what it is and that it...

Re: Lower average pressure with AirSense 11 Autoset
.
4 days, new mask - how about running for 4 days with the old mask and no other changes?I do have a new mask, and maybe that has helped my seal, but it is the same model (the F20) I've been using for ages.

Re: Worrying session last night - hypopneas increased tenfold!
Did you notice the tremendous difference in your leak rate? The leak - and pressure - grew at the end of the night of 20th, and are much higher on all of the 21st, than they on most of the hours of the 21st. I'd check all the connections in the system - humidifier seal, hose all mask parts, filter d...

Re: Help with Oscar
Thank you for your answer. I can't think of a reason why I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. That's not my usual sleep pattern. Nevertherless I feel all-right. That's great. Does it also mean you were not alarmed or sweaty when you woke up? Yesterday I made an appointment with my family ...

Re: Help with Oscar
How do you feel today? How did you feel with the higher pressures? Do you know what woke you up? What kind of waking was it? About the humidifier: Do you mean you have no humidifier? Or do you mean you don't put water in it? Do you have a heated hose ("Climateline")? Temp. of 27 and humidifier at 4 ...

Re: AirCurve 10 bilevel vs Airsense 10
Very good points by NoOnesPerfect except for one. To make your settings similar to the aircurve, you would need to increase the minimum pressure to 11 on the airsense (the 3 EPR would create a minimum exhale pressure of 8, just like on the aircurve). To get a maximum 16 exhale pressure on the airsen...

By "original" do you mean a sleep study other than the titration study?Miss Emerita wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:56 pmTo follow up on ozij's post, it would be helpful in particular to know the central apnea index from your original sleep study.

Re: Apnea Events Still High After Titration Study Help Needed Lowering Events
Based on your sleep study and the charts you posted it seems to me that the follow-up with the doctor is very important. You have indications of complex sleep apnea or treatment emergent central apnea that may not be properly treated with a CPAP which is why they suggested you come for a follow-up. ...

You'll find written instructions here - the Autoset 10 manual https://www.respshop.com/manuals/ResMed-AirSense-10-for%20her.pdf Page 17 "Adjusting the clinical setting" Do it slowly, not before you're going to bed but rather earlier. You want the Autoset mode, and notice which pressure you're settin...

Re: Help with Oscar
I watched that video and I'm ready to change the pressure. :D I wouldn't touch the EPR at this point - making more than one change at a time just confuses us. I think 7-10 is a good idea. Make that change, see how you feel, and keep track of you results on OSCAR. Stick to it for 5 nights or so, unl...
