Always liked this forum. It appears that the participation has declined significantly. Any thoughts on the situation?

You've had 3 posts in the last year.

Why don't you start.

But how do I post it so it shows up as an image?

Yeah, that was tricky...

I mean, cancelling ramp when respiratory events appear?

Good idea.

Defining sleep as quiet breathing?

Sales hook.

Frankly, ResMed doesn't GAFF about your sleep. I mean, they'd like to (like be able to exclude all Wake from calculations) but they're in the Breathing Business, not the Sleep Business. Sleeping is an assumption. Your AirSense 10 will know you’re asleep no more than three minutes after. That’s beca...

Expat31. Sure that routine can find stuff, but they're just throwing spaghetti against the wall. They need to reverse the process. Identify a toxic event and then set up parameters to determine prevalence. IMO that routine was designed ONLY to quickly identify subclinical apneas and hypopneas.

Nocibur, Bummer when one has the trigger half way pulled and you hear "Cease Fire"

Even worse when it's a Claymore and the button was pressed the third time...

PWing is akin to DWing. DWing ("dial wingin'") pertains to arbitrarily changing machine settings and hoping for positive outcome. PWing ("parameter wingin'") refers to arbitrarily changing definitions ("Da Rules") and hoping for... actually IDK what the point of doing that would be. Seems to me it w...

Damn that woman and her PMs! And I had such a great "pejorative" reply all set to go!

it's simply looking more aggressively for apneas and hypopneas.

Especially since they dropped their default to 8 seconds.

I mean, you could keep PWing till you got like 2000 events per night...

And maybe I'm very wrong in how I interpret all those 60% restrictions. Yeah probably. You seem to believe that Resmed "flow limitations" and Oscar "flow restrictions" can be used interchangeably. I don't believe they can. Resmed flow limitation is calculated using a combination of flatness index, ...

I’ve never really felt great on therapy. This seems to contradict your early claims that initially, it did. That has me wondering if I even need CPAP or BiPAP at all You've got 2 sleep studies that say you don't. I’ve done extensive research on PP, but there’s almost no definitive guidance. Sure th...

How to truly confirm PP

That's easy! Find you an ENT guy and do a DISE (Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy).

Meant to read 9/11 No that's fine. My point is that a BiPAP @11/9 (or 9/11) is only a PS of 2.0 whose effect you could duplicate by running some EPR. A BiPAP Titration should follow a defined protocol, and I'd bet your life (note that I wouldn't bet mine) that they messed it up. Specifically, EPAP ...
