Oscar charts - lots of CA?
#1
Oscar charts - lots of CA?
Hi all - new to this CPAP world - I got my Airsense 10 a week ago.

Mouth breather but looking to change that =)

Anyway - looking at Oscar has me a bit concerned about CA events - albeit they could be because of the CPAP. 

Did a home study and asked about CA - they said no, said mild Apnea.

If someone would be kind enough to take a peak at these charts.

Sunday was a pretty solid nights sleep - Monday obviously not.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Bryon

RE: Oscar charts - lots of CA?
Don't worry about it. The events are mixed, and may or may not be central apnea. There are a lot of reasons to see CA flagged even when the actual event is obstructive. You have some leaks and a lot of flow limitation. Flow rates are extremely variable I think we should look closer (zoomed image) and see why things are happening, consider higher minimum pressure and probably use some EPR.

Thank you!  I upped min pressure to 8 and set EPR =1 yesterday.

Also spent some time adjusting the mask per the guide here. Helped a lot.

Had a good night.

Will check back in a few days a see how things are going.
