Re: Air pressure falls below minimum
Are you using exhale relief (EPR) and if so at what setting? What mode of operation are you using...exactly what are ALL the settings?

Air pressure falls below minimum
Just started to use an APAP machine -- ResMed AirSense 10 -- after 5 years of being on a CPAP machine. Noticed that the air pressure falls (rather consistently throughout the night) below the preset minimum of 10 cm occasionally showing 6, 7 up to 9... cm. In all other respects, the machine seems to...

Contour Pillows
I am mostly a right side sleeper. Once I turn on my side, air leaks start almost immediately. I am reading about contour pillows. Do they help? Which one would you recommend? Thanks!

Re: Troublesome AHI with (Almost) No Hope
[quote="Pugsy"] To Pugsy: You cannot imagine how thankful I am!! You know, I feel and can see by looking at my "good" initial week that, potentially, I can be a successful CPAP patient.

Re: Troublesome AHI with (Almost) No Hope
Did you ever get things situated so you could use the software to see exactly what that AHI consists of? Do you spend a lot of time awake with the mask and machine on? We really need to see the software reports to have any clue what is going on with you. During the initial "good" week (average AHI ...

Troublesome AHI with (Almost) No Hope
I had a comprehensive overnight polysomnography in June 2012 and was diagnosed with OSA:AHI was 62.5, including hypopneas and central apneas. During the CPAP titration in August 2012, at a pressure of 13cmH20, the events per hour decreased to 0. The 7-day initial period of the CPAP therapy was based...

SleepyHead Software and Smart Card Reader
I am (almost) new for this CPAP field, just 7 weeks. I have a smart card in the machine. I have downloaded the SleepyHead software. I understand, I need a media -- a card reader -- to download the data from the smart card to the software on my computer. What card reader you would suggest I buy? What...

Auto-Adjust vs Constant Pressure Mode
The auto-adjust pressure mode delivers CPAP therapy while automatically adjusting the pressure level to meet patient’s needs. The constant pressure mode maintains a pre-set pressure level. The auto-adjust mode seems to be flexible and therefore more beneficial. I was prescribed the constant pressure...

Re: Problem with AHI Pattern
A higher than we want AHI is not always treated with more pressure... I thought that the fact that I was getting "good" (under 5) AHI during the first, auto-trial week of my CPAP therapy, says something about my responding to the CPAP therapy well. The consistently high AHI levels that followed the...

Edit Equipment (problem?)
I have selected the machine in my member profile (Edit Equipment), but it does not appear on my postings. The other pieces of equipment do appear. Am I missing something?

During the second overnight sleep study (CPAP titration) at a CPAP pressure of 13 cmH20 the events per hour decreased to 0 (zero). I started the CPAP ther...
