No, you're simply WRONG.
Please stop.
No, you're simply WRONG.
If your machine is going up to the max you have set, then your minimum is almost *certainly* set too low, (one of the hazards of constant pressure, your needs change over time, indeed they change during the course of one night.
Resmed autoset's are really nice machines
That would be my guess...

oh and btw? when you get a moment, would you fill out your equipment in your profile? once you do that, it will appear at the bottom of each of your posts, as mine does below.
good luck!
Then we start raising your min pressure till we get it up to where it needs to be, and the machine keeps you from getting unstable and needing way higher pressures...

oh and for others reading along, this is how you react when someone points out something to you. you say thank you and move on.
Feel like telling some of the haters that I'm being helpful? maybe you shouldn't, they might have a heart attack... on third thought, tell 'em
That's one of the perils of giving someone a CPAP and leaving them to their own devices, unless one checks their data fairly regularly, their needs change, but the machine doesn't.
Many people decide that they don't need ramp after they've gotten used to breathing with a machine. Nothing unusual with that

once you upload on sleephq you find the day you want to look at onscreen and to the right of the date top center strip is three dots and share option to help you obtain a link for posting. I find it easy to use but it can be incomplete data at time.Skyking wrote: ↑Sat Sep 17, 2022 11:12 amI will have to look into that software. I downloaded something from Resmed and there’s this Australian fella who has a YouTube channel and website called SleepHQ and I uploaded the data card info.

A sleep study won't help get the pressures right.Skyking wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 6:25 amOK…it maxed out again at 19.9 with a higher AHI than I’ve ever seen at 3.2…and more importantly I don’t feel as good. The pressure that high doesn’t feel great either to me anyway. If there’s even the slightest leak…wow it’s loud. I will try to upload something later this morning for y’all to look at but now wondering if I need another complete sleep study to get the number right.
Are there experts…not just these tech people who know the machines and equipment but is it common to have physicians who are experts in analyzing sleep data? I recall years ago selling an airplane to a doctor in Montana I believe, who talked constantly about sleep being the be-all end-all in his studies, but sadly really wasn’t listening.

Yes, you're missing the meaning of the 95th percentile. It means you spent 95% of your time at that pressure or lower than thatSkyking wrote: ↑Sat Sep 17, 2022 9:45 am
First night it was set at 11, second night 13 and last night 15. Should I just go ahead and set it at 20 and let it maxed out? Am I missing something? I just find it mystifying that as I increase the pressure it always reaches it 95% of the time. I have kept the minimum at 7.
Assuming you put min at 10 - this could mean 10 is too high a minimum.
The important info for you and for anyone trying to help you is in the graphs that show how the machine is responding to your individual breathing patterns, what time of breathing disruptions appear while you sleep - etc. Those of us taking time to understand how the machine is responding to out breathing have a better chance of getting good therapy.
