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??

[Dormeo]

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.

These are with the pressure set at 1

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?

[Drexette]

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.

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.
