change settings?

Post by feeB eldooN » Thu Feb 26, 2009 12:37 pm

I have a REMSTAR 510M Auto CPAP w/ A-FLEX and Swift Mirage nasal pillows.

My prescribed setting is 14 according to an old study. The Auto settings are now 12-17
My recent results show averages of:
AHI = 1.0
Leak = = 48L/m
90% = 15.3

I have a little aerophagia, and slight eye irritation from leakage around the hose to mask fitting

Are any changes in my settings needed?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

I wouldn't change anything. How do you FEEL?

And what mask are you using?

Cheers,
Babs

I currently have a stash of Nasal Aire II cannulas in Small or Extra Small. Please PM me if you would like them. I'm interested in bartering for something strange and wonderful that I don't currently own. Or a Large size NAII cannula. :)

I really didn't notice feeling bad, but my wife DID. What I do notice now, is MUCH longer duration of uninterrupted sleep.

I am using a Resmed Mirage Swift Nasal Pillows
