Re: ResScan Printing Reports/Sleep MD Appt Tomorrow
I have installed IE8 (Internet Explorer version , and I'm still able to print reports from ResScan 3.7. So it appears that IE8 is not always the cause of the ResScan print problem. Joeb989, what system are you running ResScan on? Thanks, elg5cats I'm running Windows XP Professional on a Dell Dimens...

Re: Interpret Sleep Studies - Any Thoughts?
Did you run the machine at the prescribed pressure for a while? What is the present setting on the APAP? O. We ran a CPAP at the prescribed pressure of 6.0 for the first 3 nights. The numbers were as follows: AHI - 10.5 / 13.7 / 11.8 AI - 3.9 / 3 / 10.7 HI - 6.6 / 3.2 / 8.6 Then my DME switched me ...

Interpret Sleep Studies - Any Thoughts?
My sleep studies show I had mostly Central Apneas, and yet I was prescribed a regular CPAP at 6 cm H2O. I thought someone with mostly central apneas like me needs to be prescribed an Adaptive Servo-Ventilator machine. I've been trying to ask my sleep doctor this question, but he only responds to que...

Benzodiazepines Potentially Fatal for OSA Patients
Here's a quote taken from "The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychosomatic Medicine" (2005 edition) on page 890/891: "Benzodiazepines should be used with caution in patients with compromised respiratory function or seizure disorders. Use in patients with obstructive sleep apnea is pote...

Re: Zeo Personal Sleep Coach?
The Zeo device looks interesting. I've been comparing this device with the Watch-PAT200, which also gives REM measurements, plus a whole lot more (see http://www.itamar-medical.com/Watch-PAT ). Does anyone have know the price of a Watch-PAT200 with software? Would they sell this to patients? The Zeo...

Re: ReScan 3.7 Capabilities with S8 AutoSet II
Would the detailed flow data (ie. minute ventilation, flattening index) available through ResLink help me to differentiate obstructive and central apnea/hypopnea events?
Does anyone know where I can get a ResLink?

Re: CPAP vs APAP Pressure Settings
Thanks everyone for your input ! I reason I brought in my machine to my DME was in case they wanted to change the settings, which they did. They updated the pressure range to be 5.0 to 15.0 (before it was 5.0 to 10.0). The DME also didn't know how to download the detailed data. I told 2 technicians ...

ReScan 3.7 Capabilities with S8 AutoSet II
I'm about to buy ResScan 3.7 software along with the Smart Card Reader. First I want to make sure that it is compatible with my S8 AutoSet II. When I check the ResMed website, it doesn't list this particular model as being compatible. Can someone confirm if it is? Secondly I want to make sure that R...

Re: confused over cpap prescription- opinion please ?
I was also confused by my CPAP prescription. After completing two PSG sleep tests, my sleep doctor prescribes a CPAP at pressure 6. When DME gave me a CPAP set to 6, my average AHI was 12.0. I though this should be lower, so we then tried an APAP set to a pressure range of 5 to 10. What surprised me...

Re: CPAP vs APAP Pressure Settings
I probably will take my AutoSet II in to my DME to hook it up to the ResScan software and print off a report. I'm hoping this report would have more details than what I could get off the display on the AutoSet II.

My local DME got me a ResMed S8 Elite II and it was set pressure 6 and EPR lelel 2. After the first 3 nights my AHI averaged 12.0. I...
