My diagnosis was sleep apnea with an RDI of 30.

What was the AHI and AHI breakdown?

Breakdown:

Sleeping position was supine.

Apneas: 13
Hypopnea: 14
RERA: 29

I was prescribed CPAP based on this diagnostic study.

... any significant pressure changes, but not only did that occur, when significant FL did appear, it did not respond despite obvious FL with arousal (RERA): fls.jpg Hi Nocibur How many RERAs do you see here, 3 or 5?

I have look of surprise!

Given the amount of FL I would not have expected APAP to result in in any significant pressure changes, but not only did that occur, when significant FL did appear, it did not respond despite obvious FL with arousal (RERA):

... what they are (I have talked to numerous consultants and doctors). These events are definitely waking me up. They don't appear to have the normal RERA or Hypopnea look to them (no decrease in flow rate prior to the event, so the event does not look like a recovery breath to me). I have spent a ...

... nose issues and need to be address in other traditional nose treating ways. I am not so sure that you have UARS either.....you aren't showing any RERA flagging and you need to have RERAs to help diagnose an already hard diagnosis to make. Adding EPR will often help reduce FLs as LONG AS THEY aren't ...

Thank you for your reply; and forgive me for the typo.
It seems quite low-level.

How are positive pressure ventilators currently used to handle RERA and Flower Limitation events? 1) CPAPs and APAPs are not ventilators. Whether one considers a bilevel PAP machines like a Resmed VAuto or a PR BiPAP a ventilator or not is a slightly different ...

Can the use of BiPAP solve RERA and Flower Limitation?

A CPAP machine is not a ventilator.
There is no such thing as a

Flower Limitation

however, some of my flowers seem to be limited. or at least not in bloom yet.

AI Overview IntelliPAP, like other auto-adjusting CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines, responds to flow limitations, which indicate a narrowing or obstruction in the airway, by increasing the pressure to maintain airflow. This response is intended to counteract the reduced flow and ...

... Apnea (AHI 12, RDI 23). I was prescribed an APAP (with pressures: min 7, max 12, EPR 3), but that only fixed my apnea and hypoapnea events - my RERAs showing no sign of imporvement. Therefore, I kept waking up, having unrefreshing sleep, and feeling generally fatigued. I recently made the switch ...
