more newbie questions

I have a copy of (what looks like an abbreviated version of) my polysomnography report (sleep study). I can't tell from reading it what kind of titration setting I'll have. Do I need to wait for the tech/rep to come to my house for them to determine that or is there someway to decipher what my number will be titrated at from reading the data on the summary sheet???

I'm asking because I contacted cpap.com to ask some questions re the PB GoodKnight 420E autopap w/heated humidifier and was told that if my cpap pressure was "originally titrated on the higher end, to go with the Respironics Remstar Auto w/CFLEX rather than the 420E.

Also told that I should always go w/a component humidifier (does that mean one piece built into the cpap??? Is integrated the same as component????) for less hassle, unless I have a really high pressure - 20cm or more and need buckets of water."

Because of the price, I'm thinking the Goodknight 420 cpap w/the Goodknight heated humidifier might be the better idea if my numbers arent' all over the place through the night. Anybody tried that and liked it or not? Also are the plain old GK cpaps as quiet as the GK autocpaps?

FEEDBACK oh WISEONES????? Terry

Was this study done as a split night where you wear a mask part of the night? If not there is no way to tell what your titrated pressure will be. There should be the AHI number, this is your average number of apneas and hypopneas during one hour of sleep. But I've seen really high numbers be titrated with relatively low pressures. Usually there will be a statement if you did wear the mask where it says pressures of X were effective to reduce most of the events. And it sometimes has a graph that shows the number of events at different pressures. Sometimes the events increase with more pressure but are pretty stable at a mid pressure. My readings weren't all over the place but my dr. still prescribed an APAP for me and my pressures will vary between 7 (my lowest chosen pressure) and around 11, depending on whether I'm sleeping on my right or left side or back. I have higher pressure needs on my left side and lowest on my back. Go figure.
