How are you sleeping and feeling? On the nights with higher centrals/CAs are you waking up during the periods of the centrals? Still showing higher numbers of OAs and hyponeas than I would like to see if it were my report. Maybe a trial with EPAP 15 and IPAP 19...might be in order to see if the OAs...

Posting the other two images here. Look forward to your guidance on how I can improve this further.

So here's my update of the last few nights. Looking forward to your feedback. Posting 2 images here and two in the next post

Thanks everybody for your support!

I will run with these settings for a week and post an update here.

Here's the results for tonight with IPAP 18, EPAP 14 (and rise time reduced to 2). Happy to say that AHI is under 4. This is definitely better than average for me.


Look forward to your advice on next steps

Adding last 2 pages (there were some graphs in the last page, havent posted that - will post if you feel it is needed) 10.jpg 11.jpg I don't understand these numbers too well, but doesn't the table imply that I had 0 AHI when the pressure was set at 14/10 during the study? Any reason why the doctor...

Is Flex on by chance? If it is that would explain the little dips in pressure I think.

Nope. Both Flex Lock and Bi-flex are off.

I don't think he turned off AVAPS either while on S mode. When you look at his pressure line for the IPAP it is not static as it should be in S or S/T mode with AVAPS disabled. No, AVAPS is switched off Gotcha. Try lowering the rise time setting by 1 notch and see if that evens out your pressures. ...

I think I said 14 EPAP....not 12

My mistake! Let me try that and get back with tomorrow's results.

I tried the suggested settings (Mode : S, IPAP : 18, EPAP 12) and the AHI has actually increased to 9.5.

Attaching the graph


Happy to learn from your advice and work at this to get this down.

Maybe the manual is wrong. Another problem with the avaps is that the don't produce decent data. Could be an old manual or maybe they changed it in the 60 series that goes overseas or something. When I had the S/T machine I didn't play with it much in S/T mode with the back up rate because I found ...

Are you comfortable altering the settings on your machine yourself? Did you purchase this machine from someone in India? Is it yours permanently or a rental of some sort? Are they watching your results at all? I am trying altering the setting if you can guide me. I have bought this machine from Phi...
