I realise that one night is not statistically significant.
However, I thought I'd share this as an initial result.
This is the whole night OSCAR view.
Observations from me:
Pressures went higher, maxing at 12.3
Flow limits increased over my previous 4 day average
Hypopneas increased over my previous 4 day average
Tidal Volume decreased while the respiratory rate remained constant with 12 being the median. The max is RR is 27 which is assume is the awake periods?
CAs reduced significantly from an average of 3.5CAI to 0.86CAI. Higher pressures don't seem to produce any more CAs.
I went through each CA event and they all look like this. Erratic breaths followed by stop, followed by return to 'normal' breathing patterns. From my research on here this looks like I'm either awake or rolling over and temporarily stop breathing.
Do you agree?
The previous 4 nights has some CAs that look like this, but many of them looked like I just stopped breathing.
My guess is that I should wait a week at these settings to see these results settle and become statistically significant, then add 1cmH2O EPR back in per week or two while observing CAs. After a month of two I'd be back to EPR3. Do you agree with this assessment?
