so, I went back and looked at that titration report, and I gotta wonder, what orifice did that 'board certified' doctor pull that 12/6 pressure out of?Pugsy wrote:When I tried PS of 6 (just for grins) I got light headed like I was hyper ventilating. PS of 5 is about the most that I feel comfortable with...PS of 4 works great for me.palerider wrote:I was going to suggest possibly lowering the PS for that reason. perhaps getting 'overbreathed' as it were.
I saw a report once from someone who went from PS of 4 to PS of 8 and it was packed with centrals at 8 PS and none at 4 cm. High PS definitely contributed to the high centrals.
they never tested at that high an ipap, and never at that high a ps, the closest to that ps they got was 5, and that showed 6 centrals in 23 minutes of sleep for an ahi of 23. backing down the PS lowered the centrals.
highest tested pressure was 11/7... so
where did 12/6 come from?
looks to me like the 'doctor' said 'oh, patient is fat, must have OHS, needs lots of PS" *scribbles signature" NEXT KACHING!
I freely admit I'm guessing here, and would love to learn more.
