Re: Please help...do I need an ASV?

Question soundly answered, ASV not needed once the Aircurve 10 VAUTO was dialed in to my needs! CA's gone.

Thanks again all!

Re: Please help...do I need an ASV?

Zonker, Thanks for your wise and thoughtful reply. It's down to AHI 1.62 last night. It was 0.0 for the first 2 hours 47 minutes. Will any of the other settings be as useful in dropping AHI as setting Trigger to very high was in virtually eliminating CA's? Any suggestions as to what to tweak next? ...

Thanks to all!

AHI down to 2.37 from 7-8.

Lowered Pressure Support to 3 over 8 - 25.

Increased Trigger to Very High on November 20.

Applying Magnesium oil to my legs.

Results attached.

Any thoughts on fine tuning from here?

Life is good!

Re: Please help...do I need an ASV?

Update:
Your sage Pressure Support and Oximeter (02 Ring) suggestions are in place. I'm also spraying magnesium oil on my legs to calm Periodic Limb Movement. Once there is sufficient data, it will be posted seeking your further thoughts.
Should I send my co-pay to Justin?

I have a friend who uses bilevel after her doctor gave her a bilevel because her pressure needs are in the upper teens and he wanted to help her out with more pressure relief upon exhale since h...
