Re: Flow Rate vs Flow Limit_ new to trying interpreting data

What is the difference between flow rate vs flow limit? 1.

Re: CPAP trigger sensativity

yes, I have an Aircurve 10S. Thx It might be good if some of our experienced members could have a look at what is happening when you sleep with this machine. If you are in agreement: 1.

I know you use an M Series, but do you currently have one of those machines that could be used for a one-night experiment?

Re: Wake up gasping while using CPAP

If those were my charts, I would raise the minimum to 10 and the maximum to 20 (The machine will not increase the pressure higher than needed.) Check SleepHQ the next morning.

What happened on the 12th - 39m usage?

Re: What are the biggest masks (full face) available?

Resmed makes a full face mask. (Think helmet face) It's call fitlife total face mask. I bought one when I had facial surgery for cancer. It fits from hairline to under chin on me. I use a small but there are larger ones. I found it to be reasonably comfortable and leak free. The FitLife Total Face ...

Re: Your minute ventilation numbers

when the minute ventilation is lowest, it should be around 6.5L/min Normal minute ventilation is between 5 and 8 L per minute (Lpm). https://www.acepnow.com/article/avoid-airway-catastrophes-extremes-minute-ventilation/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Quattro FX Vented tubing
The tubing is not vented. The mask has a vented elbow that attaches to the tubing.

The quattro vents out a good amount of air while the F30 does not
The vent rates for the two masks are identical. Maybe you have an unintentional leak with the Quattro??

Re: Wake up gasping while using CPAP

OSCAR data doesn't show any events or changes in flow rate right before awakening. Here is how we might be able to help you. 1. Get a free account at SleepHQ.com, upload your data card, post the link to the SleepHQ analysis in this thread. 2. The next time the gasping awakens you, turn off the mach...

Re: Help Me with My Leak Rate! Oscar Data Posted

Help Me with My Leak Rate! What is bothering you about the leak rate? Is it awakening you? It's not really a high leak rate. The machine can adjust up to a leak range of around 35 lpm. I suspect your leak is mostly through the beard. Not sure if the events are helpful but you can see them in my sec...
