people have seen him stop breathing on fishing trips. Should i help him or make him go to the doctor?

Yes I am playing doctor. I suggested that he could try it for a week and see. At this point he doesn't want to do a sleep study.

I have a S9 vpap auto that i don't use any more. A friend wants to try it. What would you reccomend to set it at. It looks like i can do straight
cpap, bipap, and bipap auto. I was thinking straight cpap with a setting of 10. Any help would be greatful.

do you use sleepyhead? You shouldn't need to change your max ps. Is there a reason you want to change that?

What were your original settings when you got your asv? Epap and your ps settings? The reason I ask is my original settings were epap 7 and ps min 3 and ps max 15. I messed around with epap and also ps. I was up to min ps of 6. Thinking I was going in the right direction. I also was up to 10 on epap...

Sorry yes I see that now. I meant to ask what his original settings were. I think Justin has changed his settings. I think I remember that from a previous post of mine.

Justinjustin, What are your current settings now. I wouldn't change anything until we know what your current settings are now. Your machine is pretty smart, that's why your on an asv machine. What are your problems right now? Once we know your settings and problems then I think we can help you bette...

I was at my Cardiologist appointment yesterday and had some time waiting for the doctor to do his thing. So I started talking to the people in the room with me and started complaining about the disconnect between the patient and the medical community. Related to cpap. They thought that some of the p...

I am also on an asv machine since may. when I was on bipap, I would sleep around 8 hours a night with maybe waking up once throughout the night, sometimes I would sleep straight through. I was not feeling better on the bipap and was also having a lot of centrals. I was using sleepyhead, so I went to...

I have been reading this forum for over a year, and I just went into my clinical setup and realized that the humidity and temp setting was on auto. I changed it to manual and now I can adjust humidity and temp settings separately. I would change temp from 60 to 80 and I am still having problems. Loo...

My question is. On the lower settings of ASV there were a large number of central events. What treats centrals? Epap or IPAP?

Here is my asv tritration. Still not feeling any better. I have an appointment next week. Any thoughts or comments welcome. The patient underwent asv tritration with complete polysomnography and total recording time of 423 minutes with a total sleep time of 274 minutes. Sleep onset occurred at 33 mi...

I had been using a ffm for the last 3 months. I switched to a nasal mask 5 days ago. So far so good. Monitor your leak rates. That will tell you if you can use a
nasal mask.

Thanks for the reports so far. I have been raising my ps and every time I raise it I keep feeling better and better. currently at ps of 5. I think that by raising the
ps the machine isn't disrupting my sleep as much and can still go as high as it wants to treat the centrals. my ps max is 6.

I'm interested in seeing other peoples sleepyhead reports that are on asv machines. Here is mine. I have made some adjustments and am feeling much better. I will post further information after I see some other reports. I think I probably could of stuck with my bipap. http://s743.photobucket.com/user...
