is my machine treating my sleep apena the way it should be
hello I was just wondering is my bipap machine treating my complex sleep apnea the way it is suppose to I see where the black marks split in the mask columns and the pressure columns what does this mean? and what is flow rate? what is the difference between mask pressure and where it says pressure on the left side of the screen. thanks for your help

I'd raise the minepap a bit, and only use the mask pressure trace next time.
Get OSCAR

Did you do a sleep study with the ASV? The pressures are wrong if you have CSA.
You may have some positional apnea, like chin tucking. There is also the clinical manual at apneaboard
I would have min epap 8 for the UA/H and the rest in default settings
min epap 8
max epap 15
min PS 3
max ps 15
this titration guide will help

Best to just ignore ajack, he thinks he knows far far far more than he does.
