ResMed Air Sense if set to no ramp but EPR ramp only ? new user posting 1 week oscar

RE: ResMed Air Sense if set to no ramp but EPR ramp only ? new user posting 1 week oscar
so, I'm trying to get TO sleep, is the reason the mask is on ; what else am I to do in that situation?

sorry, I still don't understand why the machine showed few positional issues when it was at the original settings then?   Since I'm new (but worked healthcare myself), I do best with explanations , so ;


1 wondering if the 1 year of low AHIs were misleading?  and hence, the original 8-20 default was fine?

or perhaps, though it said AHI 1.0 , the latest AHI is truer to the situation then? I don't know that I had positional static on the original settings ? Esp. since there were so few events listed



maybe one night's tracing , which is part of the problem, where poor sleep = poor tracing ; isn't enough ; I know the guide say do no more than 0.5 pressure changes and let them work for a while?

fwiw, I felt the initial sleep was quite good, maybe 4 hours ; but the machine said SD card error , which happens quite often ; so didn't post that tracing.

Without prior data, unfortunately we'd only be making guesses.

Were you using OSCAR charts at that time, or was it another report tool? Example MyAir app which is notorious for just being a CPAP cheerleader with little useful info.

This Positional Apnea may have existed prior as well, however you might not have seen it or recognized it. Maybe the mask was leaking a lot, which means therapy is far from ideal.
