RE: Looking for Help
Well I think there is an issue with those. The main one being max Ti and possible cycle. i think Rise time and cycle explains the inverted V shape of your mask pressure.
What was the Rise time, That you had in S mode? I think your machine has it? In auto it is preset to 300 and the same as APAP I think? Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think it's 200 or 250ms
I'd leave Ti min at 0.3 your median time is 1.6, and there is no indication at this stage that you are retriggering short breaths.
I would change the max to 2.7, to the default rate for your resp per min of just under 12. You aren't on a Timed mode. I would check with the DME and DR,
see page 43
trigger is individual, does the machine seem in time with your starting a breath, You aren't starting to breathe and waiting for the machine to trigger. Or that the machine is too sensitive and is triggering on a pause or moving your jaw.
page 42
cycle of high, is it holds the pressure for a short time, then exhales, you would normally have a fast rise time to compensate. Your chart shows a slow rise time. If you don't have COPD and there is no indicators that you do, I'd go to the default medium, again check with your doctor

For auto-cpap, from machine data or software. You can set the min pressure 1 or 2cm below 95%. Or clinicians commonly use the maximum or 95% pressure for fixed pressure CPAP, this can also be used for min pressure.
