Re: what is the optimal difference between IPAP & EPAP?

I was sent home with a ResMed Vpap Auto 25 set at 4-25 with ps of 4 and did not work for me. I changed it to 10-25 and ps 4 and it has worked better but still do not have the numbers where I would like them to be. Just don't know which way to go. Am having a ResMed Advant SV titration on the 18th so...

Re: Help me please, new user, new to message board

Tylersdad, Sounds like you are having the same problem with numbers I am (see my other posts) and my DME and doctor are going to titrate me on a BIPAP Auto SV on the 18th. Was suppose to be the 11th but they called yesterday and said they did not have that machine and it would be the 18th before the...

Re: Pressure Change on Vpap Auto 25

Now lets see what you do over the next 2-3 nights at those same settings!! No changes. No mask change. No pressure changes. Here is my data from last night and I can really tell a difference in the way I feel today compared to when the numbers was lower a few nights ago. Don't know what changed. I ...

Re: Pressure Change on Vpap Auto 25

Had a much better night last night. AI 1.6 and HI 9.0 on 8 hours sleep. I even played 18 holes of golf without wearing out. I go for my new sleep study on Oct 11th.

Re: Pressure Change on Vpap Auto 25

No apologies necessary. I think I will leave it set where it is and do the other sleep study and see what comes out of it. I am better than I was and it was such an improvement I wanted too much too soon. I appreciate the help.

Re: Pressure Change on Vpap Auto 25

They want to check to see if I am having a problem with centrals.

Re: Pressure Change on Vpap Auto 25

I had moved it back down since I had better numbers on the 10 setting the night before. I need to set the pressure and leave it alone for a few days. I see from the posts on here that it takes a while to adjust to a change. I guess I am grasping at straws trying to find an answer before they call fo...

I have not felt as good today( Sun). Here is chart...

Re: Pressure Change on Vpap Auto 25

Sure glad you mentioned that about the first night. I had a few more events than the night before and was thinking it was the higher setting but now I will give it another night. My AI was 2.4 and HI was 11.9 for a 9.1 hour time sleeping. What I can't figure is the pressure line was a flat line stra...

Re: Pressure Change on Vpap Auto 25

I had the sleep study then was given a ResMed Vpap S set at 14-10 and was having problem with the transition from Ip to EP and the doctor changed the prescription for a 10 day trial of a ResMed Auto 25 and they set it at 25-4. I saw the prescription for it and it only had Auto Vpap and no settings o...

Re: Pressure Change on Vpap Auto 25

I tend to think selling a higher dollar machine might weigh in the situation also. The RT at the DME said 9 centrals in that study was no big deal also. I think I will keep the 10 one more night and then raise it a little and see if that helps. Would you raise it to 11 or say 10.5 or so. I realize e...

Re: Pressure Change on Vpap Auto 25

jnk, Everything you said makes sense to me and I appreciate the imput. I had 9 centrals durning my sleep study. I have no problem doing another study if that is what the doc wants but from what I have read here the default settings of 4-25 has been a problem for lots of people and I gave it a try fo...

Re: Pressure Change on Vpap Auto 25

Actuall I raised it myself. The DME seems to think the Auto should take care of it even set at the low of 4 so I raised it myself. My prescription was 10-14 and the Vpap S I started with gave me problems with the transition from EP to IP and they switched to a Auto and it helped that but did not bri...

Pressure Change on Vpap Auto 25

I have previous posts with other data with old settings. This is my new settings data where I raised the default low of 4 to my prescription of 10 as suggested by several memebers. I have done it for 2 nights and feel MUCH better. Looks like more improvement can be made and would appreciate any sugg...
