Yeah. Sorry if I wasn't clear. My comparisons are all to cpap sleep studies (titration studies) done at Stanford. There is a lot of great advice in this thread, which I greatly appreciate. I think my next step is to see my doc yet again and take it from there. Perhaps I'll have to shell out for anot...

You indicated those 50 REM events per hour were at your prescribed pressure. Were they obstructive apneas, hypopneas, or central apneas? I swear I just read that a pressure that's too high can cause central apneas... Does EncorePro recognize central apneas? Could the titration study have been track...

I don't have my data in front of me, but for pressure 15 I average about 60 L/min. By the way, thanks for all your quick respsonses. THinking about what I went th...

To answer the questions. I had 50 events per hour during REM sleep only. So my REM AHI was about 50. My overall AHI was about 8. My Encore AHI average is 1-2. I'm currently set to the same constant pressure as the highest I was titrated, so I would theoretically expect my results to be in line with ...

Accuracy of Encore versus Sleep Study

I've been on cpap for 3 years and been through 5 studies, so I've been analyzing my data for a while. My problem seems to be that I have a high REM AHI, for which even the highest pressures titrated don't correct. This is probably why I'm still tired even though I comply with CPAP and have worked ou...

How can you do an entire segment on sleep disorders with barely a mention of sleep apnea? I understand night terrors and acting out fantasies is better entertainment, but how about actually trying to help people. When potentially 20% of the population has undiagnosed sleep apnea, and virtually none ...

New Encore Pro Software/USB Card Reader for sale

Hi everyone, I got it off cpap.com. It's unopened and still in the original box. Long story short both me and my father ordered one (OSA is genetic!) but I realized I can use his and put my money towards other more necessary supplies. I'll part with it for $100 obo. Send me a PM if interested. Here ...
