so, if I get what you're saying....Burkebang wrote:The pressure summary line is not interesting, the detailed pressure graph is. I have been doing this for a while and I do know something about it. I stand by what I say. When a person has 13,6 min pressure, a flat pressuregraph, no snoring and almost no events, the min pressure is unnessecarily high..palerider wrote:
the machine is set to a fairly tight range, but, you might notice the pressure summary line:
minimum: 8.22 median: 13.62 95%: 14.42 max: 15.18
someone whose pressure doesn't max out and jump all over the place... has too much pressure.
someone whose machine is preventing almost all events, ... has too much pressure.
someone who's machine is keeping the snoring pretty much non-existent... has too much pressure.
I'd say that, going by what we're generally trying to achieve here, that's actually
someone who's machine is adjusted just about right
now, if the OP wants to listen to your crackpot theories, and wants to have MORE events, and MORE disturbed sleep, then, sure, lower the pressure till he's gasping and choking and having a higher ahi.
now, if the person didn't have ANY events, and their pressure NEVER went above minimum, (which, though you don't care about it, this person's pressure does) then sure, I'd say try lowering it a bit and see, IF the current pressure is bothering them.
but, I'd say, again, you're full of fertilizer.... however, people are free to follow your tragically stupid advice if they want, I wish them well.
