justinjustin, Look at the following presentation, starting from page 41 (pages 1-40 cover the modern implementation of EERS, see Todzo post above): http://www.northeastsleep.org/speaker-slides/2014/ness-2014-advanced-pap-titrations.pdf If you have similar “pressure cycling” as shown at p.44 you may...

Across all my nights, whenever the IPAP is stable, I see good waveforms. It looks best at stable 18. Whenever it's variable, the waveforms look crappy. is it possible that you are misreading the data and that the crappy waveforms come first and the machine is responding next? I have no experience w...

I can't get 12/6 bilevel with adapt. It won't let me set the maxIPAP less than minPS +5. hmm, manual says minps=0-6. maxps=5-20 wouldn't be the first time the manual's been off in a minor way. That information is correct, but not complete. It should add that maxps can not be set lower than minps+5....

So how did you get to an ASV machine? If you are having centrals, you just stop breathing and in straight CPAP or BiPap mode, the system will just sit there waiting, and waiting, and waiting for you to start breathing again. ASV will switch to ventilator mode and help you breathe until you start on...

Hi all. I've been on ASV for 3 months now and I feel more fatigued using it than without. I've tried it in just CPAP mode and I'm still fatigued. I also tried APAP mode and noticed that I'd clearly wake up whenever it increased pressures. Last night I had 7.5 hr sleep with the ASV, no leaks, no awak...

I first complained of constant fatigue and everything came back normal. ... I also have chronic postnasal drip and congestion, which I thought were just allergies that weren't responding to medicine. My dr said I had IBS in 2005 but I'm not sure about that diagnosis. Have you been tested for celiac...

I've never had a DME that offered anything except abysmal service and knowledge

Sounds interesting, but I suspect it would lead to charges of practicing medicine without a license. If you avoided that, then it might be practicing respiratory therapy without a license (if your jurisdiction licenses those - in the US that would be all states but Alaska). Well it could even be a ...

This is just a brainstorm, but I think I just had a business idea. What if there was an agency of XPAP /SDB experts that were available to DMEs as an added service, or sold direct to patients, to put new Cpap users in touch with someone that can follow their treatment and be 'on call' to initially s...

This could potentially replace traditional sleep studies and might save a lot of lives!

Red flags everywhere

that's some mighty heavy breathin you're doing there, podnah! Questions: If the pressure settings of the machine are too low, wouldn't the user's breathing be heavier? (trying to get more air inhaled) Could that theoretically be what's being seen in these reports? possibly, but iirc, he doesn't wan...

EPAP plus PS equals IPAP 7 plus 6 equals 13 and not 12 IPAP max. Nit picking I know. Which model machine do you have..ResMed S9 Adapt...is it the 36007 or 36037? Sorry for all the confusion. My settings: Resmed ASV 36007 - EPAP 7.0 PS 6.0-12.0 (cmH2O) they dumped an old asv on you? *boggle* No I do...

EPAP plus PS equals IPAP 7 plus 6 equals 13 and not 12 IPAP max. Nit picking I know. Is your PS fixed at 6 or is there a range? Like with my Adapt I have a minimum PS value and maximum value available to me. If your PS is fixed (set by doing the minimum and maximum to be the same)...at these settin...
