First Night on CPAP

Post by JStaggie » Thu Mar 11, 2010 10:08 pm

Hello all,

At last, after holding it nearby for a few days so it would not be delivered even a moment early, UPS delivered my S9 today. I'm new to CPAP so tonight is my first try since the sleep study. Hoping it goes well.

OK, First night results:
So I made it 8 hours and really just work up once in the middle of the night, though it seemed to take me a while to fall asleep.
I'm not sure why everything was recorded as a Central--at the sleep study they didn't detect any centrals.

Total Hours Used: 8.07
Apnea Index: 0.8: Obstructive 0.0 Central 0.8
Hypoapnea: 0.1
AHI: 0.9
Leak: Median 0.0 95th Percentile: 13.2 Max: 40.8
From Rescan I can see 4 big leak events in the night--need to adjust the Swift FX.
Pressure: Median: 6.6 95th Percentile: 9.4 Maximum: 10.6

Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated.
