Den, Thanks for all those links, but only the Westcare Medical reference addresses the question I asked about PS↓ and PS↑ with definitions. The posts on this forum that mention pressure support discuss it as a single adjustable number (perhaps that is how it is programmed on a ResMed BIPAP machine)....

I am new to a BIPAP machine and I am aware this is a basic question - but there are no primers on the subject. The Phillips/Respironics machine set on AutoBIPAP allows adjustment of IPAP↑ EPAP↓ PS↓ and PS ↑ Most of the posts speak to a single value of PS and don't discuss these 2 varieties of PS (up...

I had a syncopal episode (drop attack) in July and a full work up that revealed obstructive sleep apnea. I am tired towards the end of the day, but my work days are super busy - I have a very low Epworth scale score. I have been using APAP since 8/27/2019. My diagnostic AHI was 37. My sleep lab test...

I increased the auto CPAP at your advice to 8.5 to 20. My AHI last night was 3.8 (I started at 35). This is an outstanding result. I am aware of few symptoms from OSA - Epworth 3. However, I am hoping a few weeks of this will give me something. I presented with syncope with a deep dream state - so, ...

I read the newbie thread and searched it - nothing about pics, aside from a comment that text is better than images. Please could you explain.

Raising auto to 7 - 20 worked. Now on a mission to reduce AHI below 7.5 (12 clears, 7 obstructive, total hypos 42. Min P 7.0, max P 19.9, 90% P 8.9. AutoCPAPwithaflex). Any thoughts on next best steps short of a tracheostomy? A link to previous discussions would be fine. Thanks all of you for your t...

Thanks for this explanation. Dreamstation. Settings Auto 5-15. Any solutions?

I am new to CPAP and a sleep study showed I need a full face mask. The sleep tech fitted me with the memory foam version of the ResMed F20. Worked great in the sleep lab. Back home I attached it to my dream station machine. Switching on the machine, the flap valve changes the seal from the tube to t...
