What's going on here? (OSCAR)

[vanillagorilla]

Hi, I've just changed machines and masks and am having some weird results. I'm still trying to figure out what works for me and am having some good nights and some not so good.

I found this breathing pattern has been happening but I can't figure out what it is. Is it just severe flow limitation?

Thanks

Please post a full screenshot too.

I can't figure out how to edit my original post so I'll just add it here. Thanks.

Hi vanillagorilla, please raise your min pressure to 9cm, with EPR on @ 3 it needs more pressure.

[vanillagorilla]

Hi @Phaleronic,

Took me a while to respond! Min pressure is now 9.

Here is a couple of screenshots from last night and the night before. I felt really bad yesterday but I feel better today. I can't understand why though.

   
   

Currently renting my Airsense but have bought an Aircurve 10 VAuto and am waiting on it to arrive.

You have wide spaces of time that the leaks are at or above the ResMed threshold of 24. This can diminish therapy and cause disturbance.

[vanillagorilla]

True, would make sense if that was the problem.

[SarcasticDave94]

Any leak that's close to or over 24 L/Min is going to hinder the therapy. The segments of higher leaks I'm seeing are several hours long. It's a problem that needs addressed, at least I would. Zero leaks isn't required, but less than these charts show.

Yeah I'll probably need to look into getting another mask.
