Re: Strange Flow Charts
Cause you might be missing detail on these graphs if you're looking at a 1 by 2 inch image.

A great example demonstrating "machine chatter":

Re: Strange Flow Charts
http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x256/sleepydave/epr.jpg Hmmm. There's an inspiratory effort there that doesn't trigger end of EPR. That quirk was also noted in the initial observations in October 2005. Time sure slips by fast, don't it? So does the the ol' memory... This is like going through ol...

Re: Strange Flow Charts
Then I would think about if EPR is really creating an issue. Seems to me the reporting of EPR on these graphs isn't quite as helpful as it could be. It only reports what's set, not when it's actually active (or more important, when it's suspended). Just sayin'. Don't the two pressure lines show you...

That would only happen if you were taking antidepressants.
Like cymbalta.

Re: Strange Flow Charts
In a kind of a "duh" experiment, these guys set up an AirSense 10 at 10.8 cmH20 w/EPR @ 3 cmH2O and a machine to generate apneas @ 9.0 cmH2O.
Lo and behold, apneas appeared!
Who woulda thunk?
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4773618/
Wonder why they just didn't use 11.0 cmH2O?

Re: Strange Flow Charts
..as well as a propensity for apneas at EPR pressure, especially if you're a NED.

Re: Strange Flow Charts
Here's some irony. The guy that's trying to explain EPR is the one that doesn't understand it: https://myapnea.org/forum/not-understand-epr-setting Is effective pressure reduced? Totally wrong. Hyperventilate patients? Really doubt it as PS of +3, although maybe it is a little bipappy, would simply ...

Re: Strange Flow Charts
However, even with treated AHI's of <1.5 more often than not, I continually see large periods of time where my breathing looks really odd and irregular. Oh right! Your original question!

Re: Strange Flow Charts
And in my spare time I would ponder on this: This all seemed to begin a few days after hitting my head under a table and hyper flexing my neck a bit. No testing has revealed anything notable other than the sleep study and the cervical MRI which showed some age-appropriate disc and joint problems. Wi...

Re: Strange Flow Charts
6.4 is too low and epap for you (pressure between breaths). bump it up a couple and let's see what it looks like. (9.4-3EPR=6.4) And what's that supposed to do? See if it makes any difference. What would you suggest? Well. Have you tried throwing the CPAP out the window and seeing how that works? F...
