Ahi

Post by Joecv5 » Tue Oct 15, 2019 4:25 am

Hi. I’ve been wearing a cpap for about 3 months. Initially my baseline was 88. At first with the cpap my reading went down to about 44. Too high so I adjusted the settings for 4-22 to 7-22 and got great results. I’ve been running between 0-5. About two weeks ago I started having poor mask fit running around 5%. That seems to have resolved but now my ahi is running higher. One night last week it was 44. Since then it’s been about 5-10. Should I adjust again to 8-22. Thanks

Without knowing what kind of events are being reported it's just a guess as to what you should do but if you are having a lot of OAs and hyponeas....yes...more minimum and probably more than 8.

Yes but only if they have the special module needed to put the files on a SD card. Otherwise all they have are the smart codes which I think might offer categories. I forget for sure.
