Well, had my appointment with the sleep doc. He didn't seem concerned about the flow limits. I showed some of the ugly flow graphs and that didn't phase him.Told him I can't keep comfortable at the higher pressures and need a higher EPR. He said there's no reason to do a Bilevel for now. Told me to ...

Precisely my thoughts on the autoset algorithm. Fishy at best in its apparent desire to keep the pressures climbing, only to recede back down with no improvement. I love the picture. That's pretty bang-on what I look like at night! Bit of a monster, but a soon to be well-rested one. A vest - brillia...

ASB, those are indeed the FLs we're after on the AutoSet. Even our pressures are damn near the same. May as well swap SD cards. Your friend and I are both lucky for your interest in flow graphs :) I may also note that solid state drives have certainly aged old hardware better than any CPU breakthrou...

Pugsy: Glad to hear that sudden pressure blasts aren't a death sentence for all :) I've read a ton about user experiences with ASV, and ASV vs BiLevel since my last post. Indeed many have issues with an ASV while awake, and no (very consistently across users) no apparent issues while asleep. I did r...

Pugsy - good point on the PS. I am seeing centrals emerging again at my current minimum pressure of 12. I'm hoping I'll adjust to the PS, and if not, I will try the EERS modification again as mentioned above to decrease CO2 wash out. As for ASV - I see now that is something to consider. I remember o...

I'll be talking to a sleep clinic tomorrow - likely will be some wait for the consult, an even longer wait for a study, and as you mention likely pushback against a BiLevel prescription, let alone a PES titration. I've indeed read Krakow's stuff. I'm very aware of the different types of BiLevels, an...

Pugsy, apologies for the delay. Visiting some family for the weekend - won't post those graphs due to the confounding factor of a different bed. First, as per your advice I slept tonight with the For Her algorithm to get some fresh data instead of posting an old graph, as I haven't use that mode in ...

Hi Pugsy :) Never thought I'd get your personal opinion on my issues. What a feeling. I'm known for writing research papers, not novels - so it's warming to know I am comprehensible as rated by someone whose style I appreciate. The OSA side is taken care of indeed, in my opinion. I do wake up often,...

TL;DR at the bottom! This post in its entirety is an 8-10 minute read. OSCAR screenshots for those who like graphs: https://imgur.com/a/EXnYbeI Hi there - I've been lurking on this forum ever since my first sleep study, mild sleep apnea diagnosis, and CPAP prescription 5 months ago. I also caught a ...
