Re: Tidal Volume fluctuations...Impact on night quality.
Hello all, I had some good results from récents tests, that tend to confirm, at least for my type of sleep behavior, that there is a straight connection between Tidal Volume, or respiratory rate, and sleep quality. As i wanted to smooth my 'messy' respiratory rate, i made an assumption: Auto mode an...

Re: Tidal Volume fluctuations...Impact on night quality.
I totally agree with you, i've lately come to the 'sad' conclusion that lowering AHI will not be a significant improvement of sleep quality. I can really be tired the same way with an AHI of 10, 40 events of 75% HI and 25% of CA, or a night with AHI of 2, with 10 events.... so i've come to the concl...

Re: Tidal Volume fluctuations...Impact on night quality.
Hi, Thanks for your feedback. As said by Todzo, i'm asking me if Tidal Volume isn't the only feedback to check sleep fracturation, as a stressed breathing can be a sign of to much activity, uncompatible with a restfull sleep. So maybe it is why i still feel tired during the day, with an ahi of 2, si...

Tidal Volume fluctuations...Impact on night quality.
Hello everyone, I have a question concerning Tidal Volume. Navigating in the board, i managed to understand that Tidal Volume is the amount of air breathed...during a breath, that it's more or less 500ml, with some variations during rem stage sleep. But i'm a little bit confused about the fluctuatio...

Re: Advice on my CPAP treatment..more or less not working !
Hello, Thanks for your comments ! In addition to my initial description, when i reached 'good' results in CPAP mode at a pressure of 5.5, i kept this settings for 3 weeks, in addition with sleeping with a filled bag to avoid subpine sleeping. Despite this, during 3 weeks with constant settings, the ...

Advice on my CPAP treatment..more or less not working !
Hello everybody, I'm asking you some advices for my cpap treatment, as i'm a little bit confused about my CPAP results, the fact that despite a quite small amount of AHI (< 5) i still feel 'confused', and especially the variation of results according nights, which can be near perfect (but rarely...)...
