First time Vauto Titration for uars

[sprinter]

Hi everyone, I was recently diagnosed with Uars and bought a vauto bipap. Yesterday was the first night that I was able to sleep with it but unfortunately I did not wake up feeling any better. I would appreciate it if anyone can look at my oscar sheets(attached below) and give me feedback. Thank you in advance.

To reduce central events change trigger sensitivity to high. Some obstructive events are in clusters and there may be a positional issue. Looks mostly normal and events should resolve as you become more accustomed to higher ventilation from bilevel PAP. https://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.ph...onal_Apnea

Thank you very much I will make the appropriate changes.

It also wouldn't hurt to be patient and give yourself some time to adapt to the treatment.

Given the UARS diagnoses what are you doing to keep your upper airway open during the day?

Nasal rinse? Breathe right strips? Flonase? Allergy control?

Gainerfull, I believe UARS is a form of sleep disordered breathing and is not treated during waking hours, but decongestants, anti-inflammatory medication and other mitigations are probably common. UARS is defined in general as airflow limitation due to increased respiratory effort leading to arousals from sleep without significant desaturation (i.e., RERAs) associated with daytime symptoms. Diagnosis of UARS is complicated by the fact there is not an agreed definition of what UARS is and how to noninvasively diagnose it. My personal take on UARS is that there is not a simple diagnostic method that can be employed in a sleep study because insurance and Medicare do not want to cover the condition. Food for thought.
