Looks good.

Use EPR at 3 and see what happens. I don't think it is going to hurt anything enough to even matter.
I think your 14.6 minimum is more than enough to compensate for that little bit of extra drop during exhale.

Thanks Pugsy. I will try the EPR at 3 and see what happens.

Is a minute vent of 11.25 considered pretty high? Everybody's body is different so this may just be paultn'a normal but I was just wondering anybody else's opinion about that.

Minute Vent varies a lot between body type, size, and sleep stage.

Around here, for the most part, we don't pay attention to a lot of the respiratory graphs. There really is little to be learned from it.

FWIW my Minute Vent last night was:
Med: 10.88
95%: 13.25
Max: 16.63

A quick glance at my history and those numbers are typical.

That's something I would ask the doctor. Might be entirely normal for one person and abnormal for another person.
I would never use cpap statistics for respiratory evaluations like this. One thing....we don't know just how accurate it is and second there are just too many variables that need to be factored in.

Mine can run almost 9.0 (per OSCAR/SleepyHead) and I am a very small woman so I know my lungs aren't nearly as big as some big guy's lungs.

And remember that's a median average and not an overall average. The overall overage might be a little different.

Heh I know nothing about what this is referring too lol but I can say I am a large guy if that helps.
