Yes. The Flex setting on Respironics machines is their form of exhale relief and similar to EPR on ResMed machines. Other brands might call it something different and the actual drop during exhale may not be exactly like what happens with EPR but it is close. I don't know about the DreamStation mod...

Sorry if this is silly question.

Is the flex setting on a Phillips Dreamstation the same as EPAP on other machines? The reason I ask is I don't see a EPAP in my set up but I do see a flex setting that in numbered 1 to 3.

Hello On the Oscar reports There is a header called statistics. There are numbers associated to Min, Med, 95% and Max. I'm not sure what numbers mean with regards to leak rate. Last night my numbers were min - 0, med - 5, 95% - 35 and max - 50. I'm not sure if these are good, bad or awful. I hope t...

And if you would have attached this to your previous thread, we could get some clues by seeing what else is there...

Sorry... I will do that now

Go to the details on the left. Click on the Events tab. Then click on whatever category that first event happens to be. I can't tell what it is but click on the category and the category will expand and show all the events in that category along with the time it happened and in parentheses at the e...

Someone suggested I ask questions on the same post. My questions are on the graph that I have linked below. It is to do with AHI. 1, The first event looks like it is 45 minutes. Is that possible? Does that mean I was shallow breathing for 45 minutes? 2, On the example the y-axis numbers range from 1...

Would anyone know what defines a variable breathing event? I have never been able to find a suitable reference for what Respironics calls "variable breathing" or why they created that data point. Nor have I been able to find anything that explains what is "normal" or "abnormal". Thanks so much

Hi

Last night I had 22 variable breathing events (23.32%). Would anyone know what defines a variable breathing event?

I did supply a link to my data. I also trying to post the image but it said "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached".

Nocturia is a common symptom of BPH (enlarged prostate). Yes and very common one. I'm a 57 year old male. I have had my prostate checked and it was a bit enlarged. I'm on meds for it . Since the OP is under a doctor's care for the BPH perhaps the first person to talk to is this doctor and a discuss...

While sleep apnea is well known to be a common cause for nocturia it isn't the only potential cause out there. I experienced nocturia because of the sleep apnea myself but it was the first symptom of apnea that totally went away pretty much when I got effective therapy. Pretty much immediate result...

I almost hesitate to add this to the discussion, since it's so obvious, and I would assume your doctors would have checked for that too. But just in case.

The gray areas are just very brief episodes of large leak. But barely into large leak territory. You crossed the line into large leak territory but just barely and not for very long. Unless those leaks woke you up I wouldn't worry about them at this time. Not big enough, not long enough and not dee...

The Grey parts are where your leaks are above the24L/M threshold. Actually the gray parts on the graphs are where the cpap machine itself flagged the large leak and if you look closely the L/min rate were very close to 80 L/min....well above the 24 L/min ResMed line. The machine itself does the gra...
