"is there a guide to find out what to adjust these settings to? after checking its 4-20."

kdt15, please start your own thread to pursue questions about your settings. The guide will be your data as shown in Oscar, so be sure to post a Daily chart.

Sometimes you need to experiment... move the 4 to 6 or 7 for a few nights to see how it goes, but leave the high setting alone. That little change won't hurt anything - it's still very low as things go.

Your charts are too difficult to read. Please follow the instructions in this to learn how to post your charts:

As a starting point for now, I recommend you set your minimum pressure at 12 and your maximum pressure at 20.

any reason why you suggest he min 12? im at default or 5-20

If you look at the pressure chart, it is bumping up against the 14 pressure limit, then dropping down until another event happens, it goes up, then drops again, repeating the cycle over and over all night long. My pressure line seldom varies more than 1 cm and my AHI averages less than one for the last six months.

Default is 4-20, because those are the machine limits and clueless doctors send machines out at that, or 5-20, even though that guarantees bad treatment for 95% of the patients.

Suggestions for appropriate minimum pressures are based on the way the pressure chart looks over the entire night.

Experience. post some charts, others will help.

That is not a guide.

may as well help kdt15 because camaro has been in multiple times but won't offer up the info needed to help him.
