I've been terribly wrong (got my report)

TerryB wrote:Turbosnore,
Don't be too hung up on your sleep study figures. Remember that the results show how you are affected by the disordered breathing while without the treatment of XPAP. Concentrate on getting the therapy working for you. Based only on my own experiences and what I have read here along the way:
1. A properly set Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine can prevent obstructive events and give you the best ventilation during remaining hyponeas.
2. Some people are more comfortable with the exhalation pressure relief provided by many machines.
3. Some people are more comfortable with the Auto-Titrating Positive Airway Pressure (APAP) because it runs at a lower pressure until an apnea causes it to ramp up to break the apnea. Some people find the pressure excursions disturbing. I am one of those so I self titrate if I feel I might need more pressure, but operate on a fixed pressure most of the time.

Just some more information to digest.

That is a good point about sleep study data. While I have never had a base line done I have been told you could have three sleep studies done a few weeks apart and find different values coming out of each study. Is it possible?

Does anyone have the figures on what % of sleep studies give valid data do to being down outside of your bedroom?

Also, my mouth still dryed, but my throat was OK - remarkable change.

Another thing arose, With 12cm pressure, my wife told me that I did snore a few times with my mask on,
and I didn't wake up any less tired. Is it usual? Could the pressure needed be different with FFM than with nasal mask?

Please allow me to say some things based not in specific knowledge but in blisful Noobee ignorance:
Regarding mouth dryness - I have found that - the last thing I do before putting on the mask - if I first rinse my mouth well with a moisturizing mouthwash (Oasis, Biotene, or similar) followed by a coating of Biotene Balance gel results in much less dryness.
Regarding FFM vs Nasal - In the mask selection leg of the setup the Ultra Nasal Mask is disignated as Ultra; a variety of FFM are MIR FUll; Activa is ACTIVA; Swift is SWIFT; Mirage Nasal Mask is MIRAGE. I don't know all the specifics of how this selection changes the machines behavior or interpretation of events other than I believe it iterprets leakage using a different set of assumptions.

Others who know far more than I can enlighten us both.
