OK- here it is. Hope I posted it the right way this time.

I made the adjustments Banned suggested for last night: Pres Max 22 EPAP Min 8 EPAP Max 12 PS Min 5 PS Max 10 (Note: raising PS Max from 7 to 10) BPM Auto Flex (Off) The AHI this morning registered a 7. One of the better numbers I have had. The chart of the Patient Triggered Breaths was also the smo...

But since originally proposing dial-wing'n by gradually increasing PS Min, which did drop his AHI buy 5 points, wouldn't it be prudent for this guy to continue on the 'tweaking path', if not just for tonite? Why not -- I still have 2 nights before I see my doctor. Will try your suggested settings. ...

Thanks again. I'll discuss all of this with my doctor on Monday. So far as the difference between the Respironics and Resmed machines, I don't feel any different. I feel pretty good and, as I mentioned, probably 75% better than I did before I was treated at all. I also had been on just a regular CPA...

Thank you very much. I am seeing my doctor on Monday and I'm taking all my daily print outs from Encore Reader. I will ask about the home titration you suggest. I wasn't aware that the Respironics machine is so much more advanced versus the Resmed Adapt SV. Due to my lack of knowledge, I am a bit co...

With an EPAP Min of 6 and Max of 12 and increasing Max Pres to 22, my AHI last night was 18. I'll put the min EPAP back to 8. But my AHI's continue to be all over the place.

I will try that. But my problem hasn't been that I have a consistently high AHI, it's that I have wide ranging AHIs over a period of days, ranging from 5 to 21. One of my sleep studies indicated I did well at an EEP of 6. I did try an EPAP of 6 (min & max) on this new machine one night and I felt aw...

I made the changes suggested. Still has an AHI of 9 last night. Is there some possibility that the machine is just incapable of fully treating my condition?

Thanks. I will make those changes tonight.

Tried last night with increasing EPAP Max to 12 (keeping EPAP min at and got an AHI of 14. Woke up a couple of times as with max pressure set so high I had some leaks, although my Encore report shows no large leaks and average leak of 42.3 I hate to have to go through yet another sleep study for tit...

Wow ! You all are wonderful to take an interest in my problems. I have had 2 sleep studies. In the first one, untreated I had 22 obstructive apneas, 13 central apneas (the longest was 20 seconds), and 11 hyponeas during 3.5 hrs of sleep. AHI was 13, REM AHI was 23. I was then started on a bi-pap mac...

I thought I did follow his advice. I increased my EPAP Max to 2 more (10) than my EPAP Min (8). I will try tonight with a min of 8 and a max of 12.

I increased my EPAP Max to 10 last night while keeping the EPAP Min at 8. My AHI is still high- 13. I just have no clue what to do now.

Thanks. I will increase my EPAP max by 2 tonight and see what happens. I learned how to change the settings myself. Last night was the worst reading I have ever gotten: AHI was 21. At that level, I might as well not even be using the machine. Will let you know tomorrow what I get with the increase E...

Thanks. I updated the subject heading and also my equipment in my profile. I have tried all different EPAP settings (ranging from 6 to 11) and none of them seemed to help. The AHI numbers are just all over the place. Here's a list of the EPAP's I tried and the resulting AHI's: EPAP 6 - AHI 13 (and I...
