[Pressure] Newbie: Trying to dial in pressure settings
#1
Newbie: Trying to dial in pressure settings
This was my second night of therapy and first night of capturing data for OSCAR. It is nice to see the AHI's decrease I tested at 36.5AHI but now only 3.11! But I would like to dial in a little more to get the best rest I can. 

Looking into the OSCAR report it seems that first I need to address large leaks. I was having issues with keeping my mouth closed using my N30i (going to try tape tonight). But it looks like I have my pressure set a little too low? I started at 4 the first night, then increased to 6 for last night. But it looks like min pressure should be somewhere around 8? (It seems like I might even need to increase my max.)

Would it be a good idea to turn off RAMP? I don't think I need it and am adjusting well to the higher pressure. 

Would love to hear any and all thoughts. Looking forward to the journey.

I would not use ramp.  And I would change min to 8.   I think that will make for a better night.
