Ok, I can see why the auto ramp feature isn’t liked, or understood. If the pressure is at 4 until an event, that’s prolly the cause for frustration. A person may fall asleep early on in the ramp time while a pressure of 4 isn’t enough to provide any support. Sure it ends ramp and goes up after the ...

The video is just a silly thing about arguments from Monty Python. The memorable line is "Do you want a five minute argument or the full half hour?" I realise that it's very impolite of someone who has only posted a couple of times in a forum to question someone who has posted nearly 50,000 times. I...

Pugsy, what you said was: "My understanding of the Smart Ramp with the DreamStation in fixed pressure mode....is it will act like normal ramp until it maybe senses some sort of apnea event happening prior to the end of the ramp time..." Normal ramp starts gradually increasing in pressure as soon as ...

First of all palerider my apologies for not replying to you way back in 2107. The answer to your question "which *PART* don't you understand" was (at the time) "all of it". And I was just looking for a simple summary. But I should have replied - sorry! :( Pugsy we seem to be misunderstanding each ot...

If you look back through this thread I think the general opinion is that the ResMed machines sense when you fall asleep, but the Dreamstation only starts to increase the pressure (during the Smart ramp) when an apnea event occurs. (I might be wrong - this is quite along thread!) My understanding of...

Hi foo, you said: "With the autoramp feature, it remains at a low pressure and it's sensing when you're asleep." I'm not sure that's the case. If you look back through this thread I think the general opinion is that the ResMed machines sense when you fall asleep, but the Dreamstation only starts to ...

Thanks for that foo. I think the key thing there is that it's usually used with fixed pressure CPAP. (I'm a bit puzzled as to why someone would want to use a Dreamstation in this way.) I have my minimum pressure set to 9cm of H2O which I'm comfortable with, and have the ramp start pressure at 5. I h...

I've just had my machine upgraded to a DreamStation. I'm trying to make sense of what SmartRamp does. I wondered if any of the contributors to this thread have anything new to say on this subject. I'd very much appreciate a simple summary of how it works on a DreamStation Auto CPAP machine. There's ...

I've been using the SleepyHead software for some time but I would really like to be able to use Encore Pro to see how the "official" Respironics data compares with SleepyHead.
I'd be very grateful if someone could send me a PM with a download link (Pugsy perhaps?)
Many thanks.
