Help analyze my first evern Encore report w/ new apap

Post by neillebo » Fri Nov 16, 2007 10:14 am

any comments/help much appreciate. I am very new to this. Last night was my first night on apap after 3 nights on cpap at 9. I used level 5-11

sleep study titration results:
pressure: TST: CA OA MA Hypo AHI RERA#

4 9.5 1 0 0 2 18.9 12
5 18.8 2 1 0 12 47.7 19
6 48.7 1 0 0 1 2.5 8
7 30.8 0 0 0 6 11.7 23
8 71.9 1 0 0 1 1.7 23
9 39.6 4 0 0 1 7.6 9
out of time

After this encore report link is original sleep study and titration summary, if helpful:

Original sleep study:
174.1 minutes of study and slept for 150.5 minutes (86.5% laency)_

Sleep study (pre cpap):
stage 1 14.3%
stage 2 84.1%
stage 3 1.7%
stage 4 0
rem 0

86.5% sleep efficientcy
2.5 hours of sleep

Respiratory data: 103 resp events during period, as follows: 62 OSA, 3 centra, 0 mixed, 38 hypopneas. A/Hindex of 40.8. Lowest oxygen saturatiion of 86

Arousal stats- total of 209 arousals observed during period, as follows: 105 respiratory, 63 PLM arousals, 2 spontaneous and 39 RERA/UAR. RERA/UAR index of 15.5

70 limb movements in plm sequence. longest 6.4 seconds. total of 7 plm sequence obseved


NOW, here is what the titratin (w/ cpap) .: 3.6 hours of sleep
stage 1- 13.4%
stage 2- 71.3%
stage 3- 0.2%
stage 4- 0
rem 15%

Kind of a limited sample, but if those were MY reports, I'd set the pressure at 8 in CPAP mode.
The higher you go, the more events you get.....along with leakage. In fact, all of your events were occurring at the top pressures.
