Help with frequent wake ups and my charts
Re: Help with frequent wake ups and my charts
I usually like using the arrow keys, up and down zoom in and out.... left and right scroll sideways.
though, I usually start out with a quick click and drag across part of the flow/events strip to zoom into the bit clicked

Re: Help with frequent wake ups and my charts
Hi Musculus, I figured out how to do it thanks to some kind posts here. Please see below. Thanks for all the help!
[quote="musculus"]I see that your respiratory rate drop sharply before you waking up. It may indicate the waking up is due to obstructive event. Can you show the airflow of one such epoch?

Re: Help with frequent wake ups and my charts
Those airflow pattern just before awaking definitely indicate airway resistances. Your arousals were most likely caused by increased effort for breathing. I would suggest gradually increasing the pressure 3-5 cm H20 and see if that helps.
Re: Help with frequent wake ups and my charts
Thanks. I just updated my profile to show my latest machine. Its an APAP, so I'm surprised it isn't responding.

Re: Help with frequent wake ups and my charts
It's not responding much (little movement of the pressure line) because it doesn't sense the need to do much for whatever reason.HanzT wrote:Its an APAP, so I'm surprised it isn't responding.
Mainly it responds to flow limitations and snores as warning signs of an impending airway collapse. It responds to OA events after the fact and not during the middle of the OA.
A little more minimum pressure should clean up the reports a bit but the reports aren't horrible. Just a little bit of what I call clutter that might be impacting how you sleep. I don't think the answer to your wake ups is within the software reports but it wouldn't hurt to maybe use a little more minimum pressure to better prevent what you are seeing flagged.
Your pressure is already fairly low so you have a lot of room to simply use a little more pressure to see if it helps or not.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

Re: Help with frequent wake ups and my charts
I'm not pretending I know anything about the science of these machines. But I do know that this "minimum pressure" advice saved the day (night) for my wife's sleep. In the beginning she was hitting 16cm and more with many clusters of OA events. Lately, this are down to mostly zero after the adjustment to a minimum of 9cm. (We moved this up gradually, a few nights for each .cm increase). Wait on advice and guidance from your Dr? Fugeddaboudit! That would have added at least six months to these adjustments.Pugsy wrote:HanzT wrote:A little more minimum pressure should clean up the reports.

Re: Help with frequent wake ups and my charts
Sounds like I will up the pressure a little and see what happens. Thanks guys. I lost some weight recently so I hope I can keep that off, it made a huge different in my charts. When I was 20lbs heavier, I has using a pressure of 12-14 and my AHI was still at 5 often. Now if I can just solve the wake-ups...

Re: Help with frequent wake ups and my charts
In addition to AHI numbers, you can also try to optimize the pressure/treatment based on the respiratory rate and volume reports (smoother is better).
Re: Help with frequent wake ups and my charts
Can I actually change my respiratory rate? It seems high to me, so any idea how to do that? Are you suggesting a higher pressure might lower that? thanks, Hmusculus wrote:In addition to AHI numbers, you can also try to optimize the pressure/treatment based on the respiratory rate and volume reports (smoother is better).
