VIbratory Snore & AHI?

Post by tdm5032c » Mon Dec 29, 2008 11:22 am

Okay, so looking at my data now from Encore Pro, it seems I am doing pretty good. From what little I know anyway, lol. My AHI was .9 last night but my 30 day average AHI is still 3.5 and my average time per day in Apnea is still 2.1 minutes. Is that good, or do I still need to do some adjusting. I played with the bottom and top pressures quite a bit when I first started, and think I have them set pretty good for now. Not sure though. Don't know how to attach PDF report on here so I can get some feedback on it. Pretty cool report though. VERY glad I got the reader and the software. Thank you to everyone for all their help and information

Another question though about the Vibratory Snore. Is that factored in to the AHI, or is it separate. Probably a stupid question, lol. Also, should I be concerned about Vibratory Snore, and does changing pressures affect that? It seems to me looking at my info, that the higher my pressure is set to, the higher my Vibratory Snore is sometimes. Just wondering what, if any correlation there is there. Any help would be appreciated!
