Should I be concerned with this type pattern
#11
OA or CA
Hi,
I'm attaching a screenshot of apneas I am seeing. My AirSence 11 AutoSet marks them mostly as OAs. From what I understand, which I am a beginner CPAP user, these apneas are really centrals. I see the machine tries to increase pressure but it seems to me that it has no immediate affect because I am simply not trying to breath. I want to thank again those who have helped me in the past and please excuse my need to confirm whether this is OA or CA. thanks

RE: OA or CA
I am no expert, but I would raise your minimum pressure to 8 or so and your maximum to 13 to see if you can eliminate some of the OAs before you do anything else.

To be clear, those are definitely obstructive, positional apnea, see my previous post
