BIPAP making my CSA worse

This IPAP pressure is all over, still wake up after 1.5 hours usually.

low ahi, but no less tired. trying an old unused f30i mask, I like it more but it tends to get hot and sticky or leak a lot near the nose. and waking up with a dry mouth, which I'm not sure how that's happening with a mouth mask and +4 humidity

I don't know what is triggering the pressure support, but this is about the lowest pressure we can obtain with the Resmed ASV.

RE: BIPAP making my CSA worse
Well, I guess flow rate is what needs to be even, regardless. but that ipap is wild, or have you seen it like this elsewhere? I would think it would go down after the event, or am I just looking too close. It's difficult to find any other specific event charts to compare with. Or does the upper PS need to be decreased?

RE: BIPAP making my CSA worse
The ASV targets your minute vent. Could you include that on the chart rather than resp rate or leaks?

RE: BIPAP making my CSA worse
sure,
I feel the high pressure quite a bit, even blowing back doesnt stop it,
which then causes leaks to a point I give up for the night and take it off.

RE: BIPAP making my CSA worse
after all my research, I'm concluding that the terrible lab conditions for my initial sleep study caused a full misdiagnosis of CSA and I dont have anything
