Intentional leak is variable, especially when you make 23 settings changes, 8 mask changes, and 2 machine (one of which you can't actually get) changes to allow sub- and super-therapeutic parameters to be employed, for a total of 368 different sets of parameters. On the same night. I feel personall...

Interesting information, Calle; thanks. The timing seems wrong for the OP, though, at least according to his subjective experience. To the OP: do you have a timeline from the study showing when your RERAs occurred? I'm not sure what you mean by, "The timing seems wrong for the OP". I do find it odd...

Every time I doze off, it feels like my lungs stopped putting in the effort to breathe, and I'll wake up gasping for air over and over for 5 hours, sometimes with an adrenaline rush. "Factors contributing to upper airway narrowing during sleep are disadvantageous anatomic factors and/or reduced neu...

https://imgur.com/IZFsQr8 https://imgur.com/JrZSUmC What are y'alls thoughts on my O2 ring data? Throughout the night I'm having frequent spikes in my heart rate. I'll be around a HR of 50-60 BPM and it's jumping to 80 BPM - then back down to 50's-60's. There don't seem to be any desaturations asso...

The sleep center that did my 2018 PSG and MSLT provided me with EDF files. They did not include a reader program. Any suggestions on where to go from here? Here's a link to a free reader: https://sites.google.com/view/diegoalvarezestevez/projects/polyman I have that - IDK how to get all the files t...

Added my EDF files if anyone is interested.

Hey, folks, I have a situation here: completed a sleep study for my 12 year old, shows AHI 6. I asked the doctor's office for an appointment for mask fitting and a machine, but the office responded we would need a titration study. BUT I don't want to wait: my son is autistic and has been overmedica...

Hi, again, Folks, Having used CPAP for about 20 years, I started using this forum intermittently to ask about small things, like mask comfort, leaks, rain out, full face vs nose, etc. Recently I've been watching Youtube videos about cpap in all its forms. I started seeing articles about sleep chart...

And also measure unrestricted flow through that thing. Cause don't forget you have an intentional leak of ~30-40 LPM. So the company says "Yeah there's some flow loss, but not too much, don't worry about it": https://i.imgur.com/oqvuw2j.jpg Seems to me that if someone is inhaling @ 30-50 L/M, and 3...

Yeah well if you don't humble yourself that spigot is going to close.

I humbly request the spigot remain open.

As far is I'm concerned, the first reason not to use a MAD is that you can't track its effects on the quality of your breathing. Fair criticism of the MAD. Ideally, once the MAD is titrated, the sleep study is repeated to determine its efficacy. Although, your point still stands true. Compliance is...

Sigh....get back on topic folks and the topic wasn't the legal conspiracy crap I am hearing here.
Take this sort of discussion privately please.

Yes ma'am. I should've left it at Stark Laws and not engaged in tomfoolery.

Legality is no impediment if the prize is great enough. Only a fool ASSumes that others obey every law. NO WAY I PREDICTED THAT!!!!!!!! LOOL You're right! While we're at it, we should just do away with the entire judicial and legislative branches of government! After all, people commit crimes despi...
