Help analyzing OSCAR data - CA's?

RE: Help analyzing OSCAR data - CA's?
Yess! Thank you Dave, I was thinking something like that as well, I'm so hopeful - even with the awfully short night I've felt oddly almost completely fine today!  Big Grin

RE: Help analyzing OSCAR data - CA's?
All right, continued mostly good news - effective AHI of 0 on the bilevel! Definitely was up again with stomach pains/horrible GERD - I imagine it's because my CPAP is about 9.8-3EPR, but my bilevel is going significantly higher - and I have been wearing it as I get arranged in bed, which is I think sending the auto-pressure skyrocketing. I tried turning things down a little, but I'll probably go with the PS of 3 and try even lower, see if I can start at 7 and cap the IPAP lower, and hope it remains as effective - I DO know, though, that even on the APAP I started with I never had scores this low, (nor could I stay asleep haha).

I also have a direct comparison, I switched machines halfway due to the stomach problems:

Can see the places I might have been having CA's, still present, but:

RE: Help analyzing OSCAR data - CA's?
Got through a full night last night with the following settings:

PS 3 / EPAP 7 / IPAP 11 - for the moment just trying to keep the airflow from causing pain. Unfortunately I'm tired today - I could feel myself waking up all through that early morning, I'm not sure if it was the breathing or pressure changes. Still seeing that periodic breathing, though I think that's the same as with the CPAP. On Vauto is there a way to set a more 'fixed' pressure?
