RE: Help reading my Oscar Results
Line up your Pressure graph with the Flow Limitation graph. Remember that flow limitation drives the pressure to whatever your maximum is set at. And it seems you're experiencing Aerophagia at 9cm.
I thought maybe the auto mode with a narrower range may work, but you may want to go back to a static pressure. Stay in the Auto Mode, but set your pressure to 7 min - 7 max. Keep EPR at 1 for now. We can titration upwards in small increments depending on what pressure starts causing Aerophagia. Taming the Swallowing of Air should be priority over your AHI reading.

Thanks

RE: Help reading my Oscar Results
Old habits. Older models reported more charts in Auto mode so most of us prefer to stay in Auto mode. Specifically Flow limits were not reported when in CPAP mode so if we don't see them we start troubleshooting why. From a therapy point of view it makes no difference.
