Airsense 11 ASV pressure adjustments?

[JBSLEEPZZZ]

Can I make the changes to EPAP and PS settings or do I need to have my sleep doc do it?


I have the manual and it doesn’t show how to make any pressure changes. 

I have received good advise on this forum for recommended adjustments and would like to make the changes. 

I asked my sleep doc (emailed through portal) the other day but they have not answered. Very frustrating to say the least!!

Hi JBS, yes you can make the setting change yourself:

That is our manual to the clinical settings. What were your suggestions for pressure?

Phaleronic, thank you very much!!

Good morning Phaleronic,

Current:
PS 1 min - 5 max
EPAP 4 min - 5 max

Was suggested to increase max on both by 1. 

Another was to go back to standard settings.

I am still having 20-26 hypopnea’s per night, a big chunk is clustered 1 hr before I wake up.
AHI been between 2-4.

I do side sleep so that helps.

A setting of PS 1-5 will not work. Your ResMed ASV needs to have a PS spread of 5 minimum. PS 1-6 or 0-5 the ASV would accept, however low PS of 0 or 1 may be less useful than PS Min 2 or 3. When I used ASV, it was better to have some PS always to maintain the pressure differential PS affords.

Also these are all low settings, probably too low. EPAP 4-5 is child settings. All settings probably need to increase, using OSCAR charts to guide the edits.

Good morning Dave, thank you for responding. 

Sorry, the PS was a typo, it is set at 1-6. 

I attached last nights Oscar reports. Please let me know your thoughts. 

Thank you very much!!!

OK, would you consider this OSCAR chart typical? I'm meaning the level of Hypopnea present.

If you want to address them, move the EPAP range, trying Min 6 and Max 10. It may be edited up or down depending on results and your feel.

Yes very typical results. AHI ranges between 2-4. 
99% are h’s.

I will try to adjust my settings. 

Thank you for your feedback.

This setting edit result should become noticable within one night.
