I haven't gotten a card reader, but some ppl on here told me how to get my AHI's, leak rate, AI, HI and etc....I keep a little notebook by the bed and write the #'s down every morning..... Could someone post a link to what software/card reader I'd have to buy to see the "Play by play...hour by hour"...

9.0.......I use the ramp feature for 15 mins at 5.0, but most times I'm asleep before I notice the pressure going up.....I HOPE you are right about colds....maybe on two nights i had some nasal stuffiness and before the next morning my nasal passages were clear again..... One thing CPAP has done for...

about the new mask I just got....my insurance allows for a new mask/headgear, tubing, and filters every three months.....I've been on CPAP for 107 days without missing a single night.....I have been using my nose mask which didn't take much effort to get used to, but I wanted a full face mask in cas...

I was on a motorcycle trip over in Alabama staying in a Chalet and the second night I was there, my machine just shut off in the middle of the night....the display was off and I even tried pluging the machine up in several other outlets all throughtout the chalet....without it coming back on....nee...

I've been writing down my #'s each morning....I have the ResMed S8 Elite..... First night was like this.... Leak= 0.18L/s AHI=7.3 AI=1.1 HI=6.2 Second night.... Leak=.26L/s AHI=7.0 AI=1.0 HI=6.0 Third night... Leak=.22L/s AHI=8.5 AI=1.4 HI=7.1 Fourth night... Leak=.22L/s AHI=7.0 AI=.5 HI=6.5 Fifth ...

Now that I've been using my CPAP for 3 nights, last night I finally slept ALL night with no getting up for a bathroom break....and I had several vivid dreams....I guess that REM sleep is when you are having dreams and that is a good thing??....does that mean you are in the deepest "sleep mode" when...

Thanks SleeplessinAZ....I'll do the same....I bought two gallons of distilled water and will make sure I keep it full.....

My #'s for today were.....

Leak= .26L

AHI=7.0

AI=1.0

HI=6.0

I don't know how to do that.....

being my luck, I'll end up giving myself some kind of a respiratory infection or something.... ....I bought two, one gallon jugs of distilled water to use in the HUM. and I'm guessing it'll last a LONG time....the RT told me not to worry about filling it to the MAX line....so I didn't....I did turn ...

I think the leak rate was "skewed" because I pulled the mask off of my nose a couple of times to re-position it.....the pain on my lip really was minimal considering it was my first time, well second time, ever using one..... I didn't fill the water chamber up very far and it still has plenty of wa...

Leak 0.18L/s AHI 7.3 AI 1.1 HI 6.2 I think my pressure is 9...... As far as the leak thing goes, I intentionally pulled the mask away from my nose a time or two to re-seat it ...I also loosened the two side straps a little once last night to take a little pressure off my upper lip........I have a t...

Thanks SO much for the help everyone...you are highly thought of here Rested Gal and I see why....thanks for being so helpful.....I'm sure I'll have more questions as I get into the therapy....Thanks again....

"If the machine was already set up (in the clinical menu) to show the smart data, you can hold down the right arrow and left arrow buttons together to get to your "Efficacy" data results the next morning." [/b]I guess I won't know if that's the case until after I use it tonight then??....and anothe...

The RT only gave me a ResScan data card to be mailed back to HIM in a couple of weeks, so if I wanted to see the info myself, I'd have to buy the card reader with software and load it on my pc??....would it be anything I could understand myself??...I'd be willing to buy the actual card reader and s...
