Re: Need help to Adjust ASV pressure
I need help to set up the right pressure as I don't feel that good yet. I am sleeping long hours like 12+ and find it hard to wake up, heavy head(like head is squeezed), tired eyes etc . I do have bad sleep hygiene. I am trying to fix it but that might not be 100% possible as I sometimes I have to ...

Re: Newbie with OSCAR settings questions and guidance
Huh, I did preview my post and links—they look like normal cpap screenshots on my end and on imgur. My husband also sees normal cpap images in his phone with separate account. But, I’ll look into it, sorry! This is what I see: This post may contain erotic or adult imagery. By continuing, you acknow...

Re: It's the Mask Stupid!
... Six nights ago I changed my mask from nasal pillow to nasal mask and my problem disappeared like magic. See the attached files. My interpretation on what is happening: CPAP machine closely examine small fluctuations caused by breathing and the algorithm interprets my data. In my case, my breath...

Re: Aircurve 10 ASV. Caught CA events, but OSCAR?
You can't *HAVE* a CA with an ASV, therefore, it doesn't *ever* flag them. I think you can if the PS isn't high enough - that's why Resmed recommend a max PS of not less than 15. So the correct statement would be "You can't *HAVE* a CA with a properly set up ASV". Resmed ASVs flag all apneas as UA.

Re: Aircurve 10 ASV. Caught CA events, but OSCAR?
I'm aware of it. But lots of body says, if CA occurs, it is in UA or LL. Resmed ASV machines do not discriminate between central or obstructive apneas, but flag all recorded apneas as UA (unclassified apnea). They do not classify any apnea as LL. But it seems completely wrong. So what to do? As a r...

Re: Newbie - Victory Dance .... AND a question
Any ideas about that depression in the SPO2 line toward the middle of the night? As far as the mask issues, you can find videos about fitting and adjusting your model on youtube. Some of the videos have some great tips to improve comfort. Something strange is happening between 23:10 and midnight. I...

Re: Cheyne Stokes Respiration after new mask
Frogler, your images didn't show up - here are the links: https://ibb.co/T0gnY4G https://ibb.co/BLtvrzR That is Cheyne Stokes respiration, which is a form of central apnea. The central index is 38.56, which is severe. For CA to start suddenly like that, there must have been some substantial change i...

Re: Help with ASV settings…
@Respirator99, why are you saying that max PS should be no less than 15? At 15, it blows so hard that it wakes me up! It's not me who says that, it's Resmed. From the ASV clinical manual: ResMed recommends that the Max PS should be set to >=15 cm H2O. You'll get used to it - mine regularly gives me...

Re: Bipap turns off at night
Sadly the Prisma is not compatible with OSCAR, and on the machne itself I cannot see any detailed graphs. Lowenstein's Prisma ST program gives full charts and details. You may be able to get it from your supplier, otherwise it's available from Apnea Board. You need to be a logged-in member of AB to...

Re: Bipap turns off at night
For future readers just refuse to accept these cheaper things as the DME get paid the same whether you gets this or a Resmed or a Philips even. The DME will push these on anyone they feel they can. The Prisma (by Lowenstein) is not a "cheaper thing" - it's actually a quite expensive machine made in...

Re: My first night and I have a problem – Can any one please help
Ive just had this thought .... My current Resmed AirFit F20 mask has a silicone cushion , I’m wondering if I change it to a Foam cushion , if that may improve things. It's worth a try. I found the foam F20 is more comfortable than the silicone, but the cushions only lasted 3 or 4 weeks before they ...

Re: Inquiring minds
When the person doing the diagnosis also sells the remedy, there is always a potential for conflict of interest. In the case of a sleep study, you can ask for the study report and see what the numbers are - post it here if you need help to interpret it.

Re: My first night and I have a problem – Can any one please help
Did you do the experiment with the straw? You have a mindset that huge volumes of air are being thrown at you, at very high pressures - this just isn't so. The machine can't generate enough pressure to blow up a balloon. I use the F20 mask with my ASV and pressures regularly go over 20 (up to around...
