pleasse help me optimize my APAP pressure settings
Have been on APAP about 2 weeks. Sleep study showed 107 AHI, and oxygen nadir 50%. Started originally at 4-20cm and was getting 2-3 AHI and increased it to now on 8-20 cm pressure (ramp 20 minutes starting at pressure of 5, EPR 2) and still getting around 2.5 AHI (which is obviously a great improvement but wondering if I can get the # of AHI even lower). My average pressure per my machine is 19. I have Resmed Airsense Auto 10/full face mask/heated tubing with humidifier on 5. Do I need a bipap or can I optimize my settings on this machine? I guess technically I am below 5 AHI which is the treatment goal. Also, I have no clue how to read OSCAR.
I attached my OSCAR screenshot. Thank you in advance!

RE: pleasse help me optimize my APAP pressure settings
I think you would be more comfortable and have better therapy if you:
Turn off ramp Set EPR to full time at 3 Then show an Oscar report and we'll see if we can help you more. Your average pressure from your report is actually 12.84, not as high as you think.
Machine: ResMed AirCurve 10 Vauto
Mask: Bleep DreamPort Sleep Solution
