[OSCAR] Need review & feedback on recent tweaks based on data
Hello All,
As per some feedback received on my earlier posts, I made the following changes in the last 2 sessions.
Context:
* Diagnosed with severe OSA. At home sleep results: sAHI 34.6 over 8.5 hours session with 11 Central events
* On therapy for about 2.5 months with preconfigured settings by my medical provider based on the sleep study results
* Using ResMed AS11 + AirFit P30i
* My deep sleep stage has increased 3 folds since therapy started and feeling better.
2025-01-18: Before changes, my defaults - Range: 6.0 to 16.0; Ramp: 5.0 with Auto; EPR: 2 full time.
** I'm very comfortable with my defaults though clocks 2ish AHI for last 2.5 months.
2025-01-19: After changes, my new settings - Range: 7.0 to 16.0; Ramp: Off; EPR: 2 full time.
** Not comfortable without ramp and starting at 7.0. AHI still around 2ish.
2025-01-20: After few more changes, my new settings - Range: 7.0 to 16.0; Ramp: 5.0 with Auto; EPR: 3 full time.
** Comfortable as before. AHI still around 2ish.
Questions:
1. How long should I wait to measure/evaluate AHI changes after setting changes in general? Days/Weeks/Months?
2. With my provider prescribed settings, the machine never increased pressure more than 9.0 cmH20. After I made the changes, it goes up to 10.0 cmH20 to resolve OS events. Why?
OSCAR snapshots are attached for aforementioned 3 days for reference.
Thanks!
