Dear all,
Im using this Philips Dreamstation CPAP Machine from 3 months and I had attached here my Reports. I want to know if I need to increase the pressure of the Machine in each day or any specific period of time. Im feeling comfortable with the setup now Im using.
So please help us to find the right action for my attached reports
The overview is fine for the supplier to know you are using your machine but to look to see what is going on you need to post a couple of nights of OSCAR graphs. look here...
At 5.0 to 15.0 pressure, your residual events are obstructive and hypopnea, and your 95% pressure seems to be in the 10.5-11.0 range. This suggests that you would be better treated with an increase in minimum pressure. My suggestion is to change minimum pressure to 8.0, and that should help reduce some pressure variation and move the machine closer to your therapeutic needs. I won't argue with StaceyBurke that a daily details chart would be a lot better to review, but my recommendation is not going to change.
