PS stands for Pressure Support.

There are indications of obstructions in your present chart: definitely the snoring -- Edit: rest of the sentence deleted after I read Respirator 99's post. A question you didn't answer: who suggested and ASV an who set it up? What you tell us about you data from 2011-12 does not in any way scream o...

So it sounds like hypopneas when your breathing is reduced and you're not taking in enough oxygen and these events are called obstructive apneas if your breathing completely stops. Not so. Your breathing can stop completely because your airway is obstructed, and you're struggling to breathe, and yo...

1. You can't assume that everyone else will have the same experience that you had, especially since (some/many/most) don't; In my case, as my ENT explained to me, my long palate means a very soft and sensitive area where the device, once deployed into its cylindrical mesh, causes quite severe disco...

You could have ingested the data into OSCAR.

Some doctors refuse to trust OSCAR, an open source program created by volunteers.
Professionals have the software supplied by the machine making companies, and need to read from the card.

I had something similar happen to me, years ago though in my case, the acid flooded my nose. Went to a gasto specialist, was temporarily give large doses of a proton pump inhibitor (medication that keep you stomach from producing acid). The aim: to stop the irritation of the Lower Esophageal Sphinct...

I believe the most important thing is to obtain and wear a recording O2 monitor... I use the O2Ring. If your oxygen levels are good all night CPAP is not going to help you... if you are indeed having O2 desaturations then CPAP has a chance. The O2Ring costs about 160USD right now I believe... lasts...

I wouldn't keep the card without consulting the hospital who gave me the machine. You want to be on the best terms as possible with them, since you might need them in the future, returning the machine without the card is not a good contribution to that. You can buy a card for the new machine if it c...

You didn't need one with the Respironics, and you don't with the ResMed. Your mother is at home, no special bacteria's you need to filter out - whatever there is in the air, she's breathing it in anyway while she's awake. When I started CPAP therapy in 2005 (yep, 2005) the recommendation was to rins...

Call up your equipment supplier and tell them what you have done. Additionally, to be on the safe side, do not return the SD card into the machine, in case it now decides to reformat it. The card has proof of you preivios usage, since it contain the machine's serial number. You can insist on it bei...

Are you sure you need a US physician's Rx? According to cpap.com https://www.cpap.com/cpap-faq# Yes, CPAP.com accepts valid international prescriptions that have been translated into English. If the prescription is not written in English, the entire prescription must be translated into English on th...

Lukewarm water, with the correct amount of salt - neither too much nor too little - used with a Neti pot or a squirt bottle can be very helpful. Not harsh at all.
It rinses out your nasal passages.
I use a squirt bottle.
Certainly worth trying.

Do You Suffer From Chronic Seriousness? :lol: :lol: :lol: You of all people, Lazarus? Thought it might be a good article to have handy for explanatory purposes the next time I wear something silly in public. Great idea. Especially for convincing the chronically serious people you might meet along t...
