Re: standard or soft response

The red line is just a visual reference for the breath. Above the red line should be inspiration and below the red line should be expiration.

Re: 3-Year CPAP User Looking for Advice

Please share last night's report. Need to see what might be going on during that "sleep onset" period of time.

Your May 4 report....looks like you need to allow the machine to go higher. Lots of snores and maxing out the pressure.

Re: Unclassified Apneas

Enough with the crap talk you guys.

Neither of you will like my solution so don't make me use my solution.

Thank you.

Re: standard or soft response

How big was that large leak right before this last little snippet you did? It's throwing me off (your last snippets) because the scale of the breaths doesn't look like the scale that I get when I do the same thing you did. Plus some of your graph the breath seems to not reach the red line of 0.0 and...

Re: standard or soft response

Leave them both.

Did you spend much time awake with mask on this night?

Re: Resmed Airsense 10 tank does not hold enough water! How do I get rid of the smell?

The machine show a green happy face for leaks. Are you aware that you get Mr Green smiley face up to 29% of the time being spent in large leak. You don't get Mr Frowny red face until you spend 30 % or more of the time in large leak (above 24 L/min). How much time do you spend with pressure above 10...

What is the ambient humidity in your bedroom?
What are your pressure settings?

Re: standard or soft response

Can you try something for me please. Go to the report in OSCAR that you shared above. Go to the left side and look for the "Events" tab....click on it. Then go to the CA/central folder....click on it. From the list of CAs/centrals scroll down until you see a central/CA flagged at around 4:50 or when...

Re: AHI 0.0 8 nights in a row.. is this a malfunction?

Did you happen to unplug your machine from the electric source and then plug it back in sometime during the past 8 nights? If you didn't....give that a try and then see what tonight's data looks like. In the past when machines seemed to get "stuck" on something a forced reboot of the machine softwar...

Re: New to CPAP - Quick Question regarding leak

I was under the assumption the machine would notice the event and then try to instantly get me out of it, but I guess the machine is suppose to do it's best at "preventing" events as much as possible. Even if it could immediately respond (which it can't) when people use fixed cpap mode....it can't ...

Re: New to CPAP - Quick Question regarding leak

How does one still experience events with my fixed pressure and 0 leak? 1....you are expecting 0 events? That's an unrealistic expectation. 2....you are using fixed pressures but we don't sleep the same each night and maybe you just needed more pressure for some reason on other (sleeping position m...

Re: standard or soft response

Jason (TheLankyLefty) doesn't walk on water like some people seem to think. He has his opinions and well within his rights but while I love him to death.......I don't always agree with him. I get to have my opinion as well. You need to learn how to tell awake from asleep flagged events. It takes som...

Re: Unclassified Apneas

I'm curious, Pugsy, how can you tell he's not asleep? By the shape of the breaths in the flow rate graph. Asleep breathing is very smooth, rhythmic and doesn't vary. Awake/arousal breathing is very irregular when compared to asleep breathing. Easy to spot most of the time. We don't take big gulps o...

Re: standard or soft response

I will usually say that we need several nights before we can really evaluate any experiments EXCEPT when we have disastrous results. Our sleep is so fragile I just don't see the sense in experimenting when first results are a disaster. Go back to the soft response tonight and see if your sleep quali...
