Aircurve10 VAuto Settings
#21
RE: Aircurve10 VAuto Settings
I agree with the advise to increase trgger sensitivity to high, moving to very-high. The longer I see CAI hovering near 10 despite low pressures, the closer I get to thinking ASV is in your future.

Sleeprider, one of charts posted showed a CAI close to 10, but on the others, the CAI was below 5.

    I'll do that adjustment.  I called Doc today to get original sleep study reports.  I also looked at statistics.

            These are from last night with the trigger set to high.  I think there is a slight improvement??

RE: Aircurve10 VAuto Settings
The CA situation seems about the same, with the index at around 5, but I'm interested to see that your flow limitations are improved. I hope an expert will be able to swing by to give you advice about the settings.

Let's set your PS = 1, unusual for a BiLevel I know.

RE: Aircurve10 VAuto Settings
That's interesting. Still high-ish CA (I didn't expect that), and much worse FL (I did expect that).

I've not read the thread, but I wonder if leaks are contributing?
Caveats: I'm just a patient, with no medical training.

Seems like things are improving?  Are these better numbers?  Do I continue to stay at these settings? I'm still waiting to receive my 
Sleep Study report from my doctor.   Smile

RE: Aircurve10 VAuto Settings
Yes, you definitely had fewer CAs last night, which is good to see. I would suggest that you stay with these settings for a while. CAs are known for being "consistently inconsistent," but you may see a general improving trend. At that point, it might be possible to start increasing the pressure support VERY gradually. But steady as you go for now. Keep us posted.
