I have been off the air for awhile but am enjoying reacquainting myself with the board.

I am going to resurrect this thread for a progress report. I have slowly lowered the Pressure Support setting and am now at 2.4 with a Min EPAP of 7.4. As I lowered the Pressure Support my numbers improved markedly. For the last two weeks at the 2.4 setting my AI is either 0.0 or 0.1. I was running ...

"One raises delivered EPAP by raising EPAP Min. Changing PS just changes the distance between IPAP and EPAP, so decreasing PS and leaving EPAP Min where it is mostly just lowers your delivered IPAP." For the last month I have had the following settings. Min EPAP 7.0 Max IPAP 18.0 Pressure Support 4....

Slinky, JNK, Rested Gal... Thanks so much for your reply and all the cross talk between you. It cleared up a lot of things. I set the pressure support to 3 instead of 4 to give me a higher EPAP. One night does not a test make but if last night is an indication I am going in the right direction. I tr...

Yes, my apologies to you and the others who read and did not offer an answer. It is pressure support I am talking about and that article explains perfectly how ResMed works. I thank you for your reply. As I said I tried to search for all the articles about how the ResMed worked before posting my (in...

I have been on CPAP or APAP for nearly a year. I started with Respironics and now have a Resmed VPAP Auto 25 as listed in my equipment below. I have read, downloaded, and printed everything I can find about the Resmed A10 algorithm. I understand (I think) the discussion about whether it responds to ...

I updated my new equipment in the profile below. About two weeks ago I switched to a Res Med VPAP Auto 25 with their H4i humidifier. I like the equipment much more than the Respironics I had before. I have been traveling since the day after I got the new machine... by car. The info I got from my DME...

Thanks John... should have thought of that... too new to the board!

Lots of good info there.

Later,

I have several air trips coming up this summer... some long enough that I want to have my CPAP stuff with me. Any tips on travel? Do you carry the machine on... in lieu perhaps of your computer? Do you check it and hope it gets to where you are going? I know the bottom of the machine is marked, "Med...

Thanks to everyone who replied... I will see if my doctor will prescribe a recording machine at my next visit. He is not too open to suggestion... maybe time to change doctors. I have read that the auto machines with recording function are a lot better for patient awareness. Some doctors are not as ...

I have been using a Respironics Remstar Plus CPAP for just over three months. I also have their heated humidifier and Optilife headgear and nasal pillows. It is more comfortable than I had anticipated but even though I sleep much better I really dislike the process. I can't hear the birds when I wak...
