Re: AHI is 15-20 each night mainly Clear Airway

I asked how long you had been receiving treatment to see if you were a new user, as you are not then this is not treatment emergent CA’s. Have you just got this machine ? Do you live at altitude ? What were you using before ? For this machine I have only had it about 2 months, the doctor thought my...

Re: AHI is 15-20 each night mainly Clear Airway

Given the high number of clear airway apneas, I would also change the minimum back to 8.0. It might be interesting to see how long the clear airway apneas are. If you click on the Events tab, you can see a list of each one. Looking at the numbers the clear airway averages around 15 and the high was...

Re: AHI is 15-20 each night mainly Clear Airway

Go back to your Dr you need another machine, your EPR is 1 your pressure is fairly tight we could try fixed pressure but I am not sure it will help, how long have you been using an APAP machine ?

Re: AHI is 15-20 each night mainly Clear Airway

I was diagnosed using at home sleep study, I only had around 10 AHI in the at home study and was diagnosed as mild sleep apnea. I switched to new doctor due to relocating from PA to TX, he looked at my machine data and saw that I still had AHI even higher than I was diagnosed before despite being on...

Re: AHI is 15-20 each night mainly Clear Airway

Okay I think I got it. Let me know if anything should be changed. My computer screen is pretty small so the graphs can be a little scrunched up.

Re: AHI is 15-20 each night mainly Clear Airway

You need to go back to your doctor for another machine as the machine you have will not treat your CA’s we could possibly reduce the CA’s with fixed pressure and turning off EPR but first stage is talk to your dr your CA’s are too high I assume you have the Resmed Autoset and not the CPAP as descri...

Trazadone is being currently studied to reduce sleep apnea.

This could be reason your AHI dropped:

can switching to mask from pillows reduce apnea ?

Hi, I’m getting 10 apnea events per hour. The pressure is 16. These are about the same number of events I was getting without using cpap during the study. So it seems the machine does nothing to improve. I have no leaks detected. Does anybody think switching to hybrid mask would help ? I’m thinking ...
