How should I set up my AirCurve 10 Vauto

[Josephkpc]

I just ordered a collar and will definitely use it. I used tape previously, but I was not very comfortable using it. Maybe I will give it a try again.

I would like to share a little more statistic from the first day I used the machine for your persual before I switch to s-mode if you don't mind.

I visited a few respiratory doctors in Hong Kong but they just told me that my machine is automatic and manual set-up is not necessary...  

Big thank you to the knowledgeable community here!

If I may...
 
If I switched to S-mode, shall I choose easy-breathe or back up rate? It could be only set to 10? What does it mean??

As mentioned earlier, I got quite a lot CAs and was just being fixed after changing trigger sensitivity to "very high" recently.

Thankss

Well, I would use easy breath for now, but stay with auto mode then and try the trigger sensitivity change to very high.

Thank you for your advice again. I will try easy breath tonight.

Yestersday night, I tried S-mode with the pre-set back up rate of 10. It was very uncomfortable and got some pressure in my abdomen just after a trial of 1 to 2 minutes when I was awake. Changed it back to Vauto because of that. I got an AHI of 2.9 for a 5-hour sleep.

Okay good

I tried the S-mode and found it not comfortable. I couldn't tolerate the air getting in my stomach so switched back to V-auto.

Now I got a much better AHI reading but still always woke up in the middle of the night. Please see below for the records recently and would like to seek for your kind advice if I should adjust any set-up to get further improvement.

Thanks in advance and I am looking forward to advices from the knowledgeable community here!
