Re: Different sizes of Mask resulting different AIH / LPM ??

Thats the reason my CPAP pressure, since 5 to 9, didnt make any change in treatment (still remains about 25 to 21 AHI). Yester...

Re: Different sizes of Mask resulting different AIH / LPM ??
Hi, My actual pressure is 9 cmH2O. My AIH 2(two) weeks ago was 8.4 (decreasing). I changed sizes mask, Quattro FX, from G (Large) to M (Medium) few weeks ago. But, in the last weeks (after reaching 8.4) my AIH changed again and reached 21.5 (last night) - The 21.5 AIH is the Media of 7 days, in LCD...

AHI of 18 is NOT acceptable and like Sleepstar says....we want it to be below 5.0 and you are a long way from that goal.

Re: Different sizes of Mask resulting different AIH / LPM ??
Hi, After a week as suggested, my AHI lowered to 18.4. I used pressure 8 for a week in size "M-Medium" mask (Quattro FX). I think my AHI could decrease a little more in the next days. I discovered a little about my problem, for higher AHI. I was using humidifier with water in top mark level. This, s...
