Looking for a strategy to manage flow limits.
Dropped Ramp
Changed EPR from 1 to 2
Moved min pressure up to 7 from 4
Started using a soft collar and cervical roll
Started using Flonase and nasal spray to clear sinuses
Pic of last night ...
Last night was restless but I just wanted to open a discussion about how to manage flow limits. I think limits/flow rate is where I should be focusing to work out Hypo and RERA problems.
As I understand.
I want a high enough pressure to smooth the inhalation and overcome resistance. Thinking I should raise my max and see where it goes.
I want my minimum pressure high enough (close enough to the max pressure setting) so pressure changes up/down are not causing problems
I want EPR sufficient to provide comfort but not too excessive that it allows for those up/down changes in pressure. Not sure EPR adds anything other than comfort.
Currently working on positional flow limits by adding a soft collar. Just 1 night so far so no conclusions. I don't have a clear strategy, other than the above ideas. My low AHI scores don't match how I feel. Not sure I am seeing any significant changes to flow limits that make me think I don't have a good strategy for working it lower.
Hoping for advice.
