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.
Take your minimum back to where you felt best and post the charts.
The quality of your sleep, and how you feel the next day are indeed the most important.
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.
An auto algorithm on CPAP machines is not infallible - same as auto pilots on planes, that have been known to cause fatal accidents on both Boeing (the 737 MAX, twice recently) and Airbus (Air France 447 in 2009).
Ozij is right though, there is a lot to be gleaned from the chart. I can't help you with oscar but if you find that hard to manage and want to use Sleephq please reach out and I can help with that or watch this video. https://youtu.be/YJojSMC4zQc
Don't stress over the 95% number and listen to the advice of the veteran posters here and you should be able to find some help.
