Re: Central apneas

Pugsy, I hope this is what you wanted to see. I have two screenshots, one with 4 CAs and one with 5 CAs. http://imgur.com/a/bpjRO I did communicate some of my results to my doctor's office the other day and they called back today and moved my appointment up to next week. It sounds like the doctor is...

Re: Central apneas

home study. The results of that test were: OA = about 2; CA = about 3; Hypopnea = about 10 Were these per hour averages or totals over the entire sleep period ? These values were per hour averages, thus my AHI for the home study was approximately 15. So I did have more centrals than obstructives du...

Re: Central apneas

There is a very small subset of people who will have centrals pop up as a result of bilevel pressures and your using EPR at 3 is creating a bilevel pressure situation. So PR's suggestion to reduce or turn off EPR was made as something to try to see if the centrals are reduced in number. It is somet...

Re: Central apneas

Here's a link to a screenshot showing the duration of the central apneas; a number of them are almost 1/2 minute in duration if I am reading it correctly. Link: http://imgur.com/a/2OfzH Click on the "Events" tab and you will get itemized lists of the events including the length of each one. The sec...

Re: Central apneas

The EPR is at the lowest setting permitted at "3".

The leak data for 7/14/16 is:
Average leak Rate = 0.83
90% Leak Rate = 1.20
% of time above Leak Rate threshold = 0.11%

Re: Central apneas

I have tried to get a screen shot and post it here. Hopefully it works; have not done this (or used Imgur) before.

Hopefully this is the link: http://imgur.com/a/2OfzH

Re: Central apneas

My initial sleep test was a home study. The results of that test were: OA = about 2 CA = about 3 Hypopnea = about 10 The home test was then followed up with an overnight titration study at the clinic. Based on those results my pressure has been set at a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 20. I will try t...

Central apneas

I was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea and I have completed slightly over 5 weeks on the CPAP machine; the last 4 weeks of which I have been using the Opus 360 mask and have adjusted quite well to it. Essentially no problems with keeping the mask on all night and no leaks. The good news: My obstr...

Re: Need help with Sleepyhead software

I don't know if anyone else has had this software issue. I have only been using Sleepyhead for about one week. Last Thursday when I was using Sleephead, I clicked on full-screen version under the "view" menu. The monitor screen immediately went black. I could not access the software at all. I had t...

Re: Need help with Sleepyhead software

I'm gonna make a guess that you hit the fullscreen toggle button, which is F11. You can use it to toggle in and out of fullscreen mode, which is mostly used for taking screenshots. In many programs, the escape key will do the same thing, but I don't know if it does in sleepyhead. No, I did not use ...
