Right Machine, Right Results

Post by Rhodesie » Mon Aug 20, 2018 9:32 am

After spending 6 months fighting to get my husband's AHI to move in the correct direction with all of the CA's. We made the jump to an ASV machine last week after discussions with his cardiologist as well as wonderful people on this forum. He has used the machine for 1 week and loves how easy it is to breath with it. He finds that he is not fighting to exhale like his APAP machine. Unfortunately our DME has vanished with any support so we decided to get a machine from secondwindcpap. Took no time to ship to Canada. After a few adjustments to the AutoASV settings, here is the chart of last night. Husband is sleeping thru the entire night now with no more nighttime bathroom trips :D

well, it just seems the forum is filled with good news today.

i'm no expert, but that looks like an excellent chart to me.

and you are to be commended for taking the lead in coming here to help out your husband.

well done!
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.

That's pretty good, the resmed asv is really good about getting good results.

That said, I'd raise the minepap a little, there's snores or flow limitations causing the min pressure to be somewhat active.

Sounds good. I will bump it up a bit.
