Does this oscar report make sense?

Ivy, there are a couple studies out there concerning risk factors of using ASV for individuals with LVEF% <45% (left ventricular ejection fraction less than 45%). This risk was found unexpectedly with the SERVE-HF study. A more recent study, ADVENT-HF has failed to confirm that risk finding and has found the benefits of ASV outweigh risks. Here is the wiki I wrote. http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php...nd_Summary

it is so ironic that the days with the most EPR (full time) have the lowest AHI, when I have grown to expect higher CAs when there is a wider difference between the Inhale pressure and exhale pressure.

QAL

see Feb 4 Feb 6, Feb 7 thru 8, and Feb 12 thru 20

for reference see Feb 9-11 with EPR set at zero

VERY observant of you!  We turned it off after coming to apnea forum and reading that’s what we should do to reduce central apneas.  It clearly did not work. After everyone was so sure of this point too.

The best results have been jan 25-31 , 4-9 apap with full 3cm epr., ahi 14.5; and
Feb 1- 2, 4-10 apap with full 3cm epr, ahi 13.51. (To keep this in perspective, ahi was 47 on sleep study dec 16)  Feb 6,7 & 8 had even lower ahi when we reduced apap setting to 4-6 and 4-5 AND epr to 2cm and 1 cm respectively.

Trying to decide where to set tonight.  Apap 4-9 full epr.
