I tried EPR off and 7 Pressure last night and my results are attached. No AHI improvement from what I can see but I'm going to keep at it for another day or two just to make sure.
Let me know if there's something obvious in the chart that i can fix, my leak rate seems to have been jumping later in the night

Just got done with doc visit. FYI I'm active duty military so I have to deal with military system + insurance.
I got completely shut down. Got told they need to see weeks more CPAP data before they label CPAP a "failure". Then I was told they would try a BiPAP next for weeks before even attempting an ASV. (Also told they wouldn't order an ASV titration in the interim)
Going to pursue alternate avenues to be heard but until then I'm stuck with the CPAP.
Going to keep 7 pressure and epr off for a bit more and then try to lower the pressure bit by bit from there if it's still not <5 AHI.
I set CPAP min pressure to 6 and max pressure to 8 (with EPR off) to help with Central Apnea. My ResMed 10 doesn't seem to have this option even in clinician settings, do I need to change the 'mode' from CPAP to something else? Or is there something else I'm missing?
Runnermeep, I posted your question from your PM into this thread. In order to see minimum and mazimum pressure, you must set the MODE to Autoset. The EPR settings are also in the clinical settings menu. You can use this link for a quick instruction on accessing the Airsense 10 clinical menu. Mode is the second or third option on that menu. You have to click on mode to access the option for Autoset or CPAP. https://www.apneaboard.com/res med-airsense-10-aircurve-10-setup-info
