Re: Need Help with Mask Condensation (no hose rainout)

... I have been on CPAP therapy since 2007. Yikes! I've been 9 characters since then! I had a similar problem with the water dispenser in my side-by-side refrigerator-- everything froze because one micro-atmosphere invaded the other. Anyway, take the cushion mask.jpg and cover it with thick flannel...

Interesting, but, unfortunately, I don’t think I have any of that (or even know where to look); the original diagnostic data might’ve been almost 30 years, 3 moves, and multiple doctors ago.
How about February 13th? And what's
the upcoming advanced study

Are you pulling the SD card out of the machine as soon as you turn it off?
Yes, usually within a few minutes.
The machine is probably still writing to the card. Pulling it out prematurely causes the entire process to halt resulting in loss of most of the data.

Re: New machine + new mask = WORSE results?

I think that is an ultra conservative number but from my own personal experience it isn't until we hit 30-35 L/min that the machine might miss something. Not a given for sure thing but there is a definite "might" or "maybe" going on there. If we believe the patent the bottom drops out at 42 LPM lea...

Re: New machine + new mask = WORSE results?

...what would an oximeter do? Well, now this is only my opinion, but everything you've done up to this time has been a complete waste of time. "IMO" you have near complete fixed nasal obstruction (which means that conceivably you don't even have "obstructive" sleep apnea). You need to go all the wa...

Re: New machine + new mask = WORSE results?

... the technician ... immediately said that I was doing a lot of breath breathing, so he recommended that I switch from my Resmed N20 nasal mask to a facial mask... On about March 27th, I finally changed from the Resmed N20 mask and cushion to an F30i. ... the mask info (AirTouch N20) is correct.....

Re: New machine + new mask = WORSE results?

Another night of data is June 9th where there is more interesting discussion material: boy1.jpg There is obvious FL but no machine response. Is the FL value assigned too low to consider pressure increase? Is this the old "A10 Algorithm" where ResMed machines do not respond to FLs? Are the SleepHQ pa...

Re: New machine + new mask = WORSE results?

Am I crazy to think that my therapy has deteriorated since making these changes? The massive leaks have destroyed everything. Your breathing, the ability of the machine to record events, the ability of the machine to address events (pressure is actually dropping during wicked events): boy.jpg All I...

Re: Please help! Almost a year on CPAP, still not feeling amazing

Get rid of the EPR. It often results in subtherapeutic pressures and may be contributing to unstable breathing in NREM 1/2 (OK taking some artistic license there).

Post the results of your sleep study.
