Got the AHI down to 3 AHI lastnight, feeling better today... not sure if I should mess with any settings further or just stick to this path for now..
Which settings did you mess with most recently, and when? if your AHI is slowly settling down, then let it keep doing that.

I have just adjusted the pressure from 7.8 with EPR @ 1 and now I am at 7.4-7.6 with EPR Turned OFF - my AHI was higher when I had the EPR ON.

It would be really good to have graphs and breakdowns on what the type and number of events your having, turning epr off could have reduced CA’s or reduced OA’s as it increases epap by one we just don’t kno as we are guessing that’s why detailed information of the screen or OSCAR is so useful

been told my machine wont produce that info.. working on getting new machine but making use of wht I have now

Those .2 adjustments are typically inconsequential.

Turning EPR off, however, is effectively raising your pressure by 1cm.

So, a pressure of 7.8 EPR 1 gives you an *effective* pressure of 6.8.

gotcha and it seemed that effective pressure of 6.8 was a little too low as AHI were higher then .. even though it seemed a little more comfortable exhaling...

I think (per profile) that he has the half assed brick CPAP that only shows the summary AHI, pressure and leak numbers.
No graphs and no event category breakdown. Nothing to really see with the software except for Bob to tell us he's got a brick.

it's my humble opinion that you stay with your settings as is and let it settle down. and maybe raise the min pressure another .2 in a few nights.

one night's data isn't much. so let's see how that goes.

i had to do similarly, raise and wait .2 at a time. for me, it was the added battle of aerophagia

as well as getting my ahi down. but slow (and i mean SLOW) and steady won the race for me.

good luck!

Oh, right, sorry, my bad... raise the pressure another CM and see what happens.

thanks going to give this a try .. btw what do you mean by "settle down" ? I usually only hear this from my Mom when Ive had too much too drink

where do you think she got it from?

i mean give your body and brain time to get comfortable with what you are asking it to do. some here will press you to go faster. some say go slower.

i'm just giving you my take on it from my perspective.

good luck!

Sorry I’d missed you have the CPAP version of the machine bummer my first machine was an S9 escape which doesn’t even have AHI it too me three days to buy my own better machine

I have the AirFit N10 Nasal Mask (regular size) and it seems it may not be wide enough and blocks some airflow, is there a fitting guide for which sizes to use ?
https://5faacd0c97cf0d23c6dc-064f3cd61b ... -guide.pdf

Same guide as for the Nano. I suppose because the actual cushion itself is similar.

I am looking for a Resmed N10 Large Cushion on Amazon, not having any luck would a Nano cushion work with this nasal mask ? Thx!
