The DME kind of hemmed and hawed when I asked how to swap the Dreamstation for an A10 For Her, but said the Dr would have to request it. Fine - we'll talk to him. But the DME rep said going to BiPAP would be the next logical step before going to the Resmed. Any idea why he might have made that recom...

Thanks, Pugsy. I'll give the DME a call tomorrow. And we have an appt with the Dr coming up in case we need to chase it that way.

To restate and clarify my question, given my previously uninformed observation that the Dreamstation seems very slow to respond: Do you folks think the A10 would provide more appropriate treatment in my wife's case? And if so, how do I go about getting the machines swapped? Can I ask the DME, or doe...

I've been in the clinician mode (or whatever you call it) and verified I can change pressure, etc, but she doesn't want me to do that, at least not yet. We called the sleep doc and asked to have pressures reset to 9-20, and have an...

I guess the question for this post is about interpreting flow data and the accuracy of the APAP Dreamstation's event detection accuracy. Opening admissions of my (poorly founded) bias: 1) Based on my observations of flow and O2 data, I'm concerned the machine sometimes over- and sometimes under-repo...

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions! I agree with the many suggestions that we can probably reduce AHI by cranking up the starting pressure, and we'll ask the doc to order that. We'll also ask him to set the max back up to 20. And thanks for the machine leak info, Pugsy. I've updated the rep...

Hi all - new guy here. Short version: Please help me understand some data we've collected from my wife's Dreamstation APAP and a CMS50E oximeter to prepare for a discussion with her sleep doctor. Please see typical pic attached. AHI from PSG ~30. Wife never had any sleep complaints, sleep quality WO...
