String of open airway events
#31
RE: String of open airway events
Your diagnostic study showed central apnea at 39 events per hour. You were misdiagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and have never been treated for your real problem. ASV would solve this in auto mode immediately. What a waste of time.

RE: String of open airway events
I finally took Sleeprider's advice from October and clandestinely and made one simple change in my BiPAP machine settings, I changed the sensitivity from "Medium" to "High"
Here was my Oscar report from Tuesday night, before the setting change:
   
Here is the report after the high setting change.
   
Unbelievable!
What is going on here? 
I will keep you posted!
Thank you Sleeprider and everyone for their support.

RE: String of open airway events
And then again...
I had my trigger set to "high" for the second night on my Bipap machine, and the early morning mostly open airway events in clusters returned.
It is been pointed by a number of the commentators that central apnea tends to be very variable in its presentation.
I plan to (clandestinely) increase the trigger to very high tonight...and will report back.
Thank you all for your help!

RE: String of open airway events
No need to be clandestine..It's all good. CA events tend to be a lot more prevalent during the sleep/wake transition, so a cluster in the morning is not terribly alarming, but I'm all in to see if the higher trigger helps.
