Bizarre OSCAR Charts!

Normal inspiration / expiration time. https://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.ph...I:E)_Ratio Normally we want to see inspiration shorter than expiration time. but your statistics are so disrupted, we really can't rely on 1.33/0.64. That is completely inverse to normal. You need bilevel.

Attached are the charts from June 4 using 7.4 and 11.4 pressure. They are just as awful as previous ones. Remarkably AHI was 4.12.

Resmed BiPap bilevel arrives tomorrow, Thursday.

Would greatly appreciate suggestions for the initial setup parameters. If you need any more information please let me know. This board and participates look like they are going to be a lifesaver.

Attached in the next post are two charts from my odometer recording. The first is my regular sleep period of about 7 hours, when I have to get up to urinate. ODI was 4.0, SpO2 was 98% or greater, 100% was 92 or greater, and heart rate was 50 with nothing unusual as far as I can see. The second chart is when I went back to bed. I did not use CPAP or any other equipment. Unfortunately the results do not last as my throat relaxes with time.

Hello GeorgeGus,

Looking at your recent charts you have a very high leakrate of 22.7, before adjusting pressure we must get your leaks under control. I see that you're using nasal pillows, are you catching yourself opening your mouth during the night? I had major issues with nasal pillows myself and had to switch off them to a full face system, but that is a last resort.

The Aircurve 10 Vauto has arrived. it is set up and I have opened the clinical menu. There are many controls. I am not familiar with. Should I just leave everything at default and see what happens with the Oscar charts tomorrow?

I have watched a couple videos explaining what the controls do, but I don’t know what the starting values should be.

Any guidance would be appreciated. Is there a recommended guide for the machine?
