Can someone please explain exactly what the flow rate is showing.  Is it expiratory flow limitation?  If it is I see this frequently.  
Can you explain what settings might be changed in order to decrease this?
Thanks

According to the Flow Limitation images, it is expiratory snoring.  The bottom graph example.


Also, why not upgrade to the latest release of OSCAR, version 1.5.1?

Thanks red, I will upgrade.  Anything to recommend to treat this ? As you can see my AHI is low, would reducing the PS help?  I do limit the max ipap due to aerophagia.

I would probably try bumping up my EPAP pressure. I'm guessing it is a little low, thus not providing enough pressure for a good stent.

Just to add, I tape my mouth and use a chinstrap.  I almost always also have no leakage.

Red, you would increase the min epap even though my ahi is very low?  Please explain.  Also should I adjust the ipap or ps?
Thanks

Only if you want to try and clean up those micro-snores (if there is such a word). Your profile shows 8.4, try 9cm.

Thanks red for your advice, should I keep the PS and IPAP settings the same?

[Crimson Nape]

I might up the IPAP to 15.  Your upper waveform looks good, so the PS is good.

I would think as Red mentioned it's likely a bit too low on EPAP. If you want an IPAP increase, you could. It's your choice of you want to do these together or separate.
