[Treatment] New User - Advice on settings and charts
#1
New User - Advice on settings and charts
Hi,

I'm very new to the CPAP community and I have just started treatment. My initial prescription was from 6cmH20 to 16cmH20 and was bumped up to 7-16cmH20. I adjusted to 10cmH20 seeing as it was the median for many of the nights but in this chart it seems to have gone to 12cmH20. Overall, I've had varying AHI number for the first two weeks and the disparity can be quite drastic but a rough average over the last 2 weeks would be 8 AHI. So I'll give you my chart and I'd really appreciate any advice you might have. Thank you for your time and guidance!

RE: New User - Advice on settings and charts
Welcome, you will receive great help here. 
Is this a typical night? How are you feeling in the mornings?
Can you post your sleep study with your personal info redacted? Did you have central apneas on it?
Please hide the calendar, more settings will show. Pressing F12 will prompt you to save a screen capture.
What mask are you using? Do you use a cervical collar or mouth tape or a chin strap?
Finally do you have any underlying condition or are you on any medications that would effect your breathing?
Good luck on this journey!

Thanks jdougc,

Yes this is a pretty typical night.

I feel decent after this night's sleep.

Thanks for the F12 trick. I'm on a Mac and you have to press fn+F12 (for any Mac users out there).

I use the ResMed P30i.

No cervical collar, mouth tape or chin strap. I am usually a nasal breather.

Underlying condition would just be overweight.
