Re: CPAP data from OSCAR, plus OX data, questions about AirCurve 10 ASV pressure settings for pillows vs full face

Hi Michael, I’m just coming on here to say I have the exact same problem since trying nasal pillows/cushion for about 6 weeks and I also have the same machine. I never got a response back to my post after adjustments so it’s been helpful reading all the help you’re getting from others. I’m sad you’...

Re: Want nasal pillows smaller than ResMed Nuance Pro with small pillows

Several of the Resmed Nasal Pillows masks, including both the P10 and the Swift FX have extra small pillows abailable. But the Liberty mask you are using only seems to have S, M, and L available. Do you need a full face mask? If not, I'd suggest trying out the P10 or the Swift FX with extra small p...

Want nasal pillows smaller than ResMed Nuance Pro with small pillows

Does such a thing exist? I'm not new to CPAP but am new to pillows. I like them but have trouble keeping the holes lined up with my nostrils no matter what I do with the headgear. I tried medium, it's worse for me. (I'm using full pressure now, for anyone who read my posts where I wasn't with pillow...

Not for me.
What would I read to start to learn to do that?

Re: CPAP data from OSCAR, plus OX data, questions about AirCurve 10 ASV pressure settings for pillows vs full face

Same patient, AHI = 0.0: https://i.imgur.com/GmIDcA8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3FEs0lD.jpg So basically ASVauto bilevel is like a ventilator that breathes for you when you have issues, so it's harder to discern real details from charts? Probably most useful data is that I'm waking up refreshed and no...

Re: CPAP data from OSCAR, plus OX data, questions about AirCurve 10 ASV pressure settings for pillows vs full face

By "ASV AHI is otherwise known as The Big Lie" do you mean it's too simple of a metric on its own? No. ASV will send in breaths whenever it sees an apnea so it's pretty much impossible to have scored apneas or hypopneas. However, that doesn't mean you're not having apneas-- AAMOF, if there's an ASV...

Re: CPAP data from OSCAR, plus OX data, questions about AirCurve 10 ASV pressure settings for pillows vs full face

Y'know, IIWM I would rethink the entire process, starting with: Was your initial sleep study done in a flat bed or a reclining chair? Do you have a Pulmonary Function Test? What exactly is the biggest problem? Asthma? COPD? CHF? OSA? CSA? You might want to look at breath-by-breath to see if events ...

Re: CPAP data from OSCAR, plus OX data, questions about AirCurve 10 ASV pressure settings for pillows vs full face

Thank you! Very detailed. I read it all, but I'm sleepy and going to bed soon. I'll read again later and answer more. But, a few points to address some of it: I've only slept 3 nights with pillows. Once for an hour, once for a few hours, and once for 6. First two I finished out the night with just o...

Re: CPAP data from OSCAR, plus OX data, questions about AirCurve 10 ASV pressure settings for pillows vs full face

That one screenshot of it done right would save a lot of time on here, not just for me and you. And that has been why people have repeatedly said "please read the first post on the forum", because both of the links above tell you how to arrange things so you only need to hit 'screenshot' once and p...

Re: CPAP data from OSCAR, plus OX data, questions about AirCurve 10 ASV pressure settings for pillows vs full face

I hope they're how you need. I had to put them together from 3 shots each, I explained in the post above....Nothing I'm doing (including F12) allows me to take the whole page below the bottom of the screen. I searched for a solution here, and in OSCAR HELP. Nothing. Nobody has ever * asked * for "t...

Also if it is possible to post a typical day from when you were using the full face mask, that would also be useful.

Re: CPAP data from OSCAR, plus OX data, questions about AirCurve 10 ASV pressure settings for pillows vs full face

If you can run SleepyHead to show your older data with a full face mask, then by all means, do that. Follow the suggested instructions about how to set up the screen. Then, create an image of that full screen. OSCAR - see the instructions - has an option to creat a screen image... Thank you. Where ...
