New User; Fine Tuning- First 3 Days of Data
Hello all,
I am hoping you can help me adjust my settings. I'm guessing my minimum pressure is set to too low. I have attached three days of OSCAR data. Thank you in advance for your help.

RE: New User; Fine Tuning- First 3 Days of Data
You might try upping your minimum pressure to 11, or even 12. Also, your OAs appear to be positional too. Avoid sleeping on your back. Try to sleep on your side. Another consideration is possible chin tucking. Severe chin tucking can not be overcome with any amount of pressure. Many have been helped by using a soft cervical collar (referred to as, SCC). Here's a Wiki on the subject: https://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.ph...cal_Collar
While you're at it, please update your profile. Your charts contradict it.  - Red

Did I go too high on the pressure?

I see you increased your maximum pressure. Why?

Does that mean that 20 was necessary for proper treatment or not necessarily. If not, is this because of imperfections in the algorithm in the machine or because of some other reason? Thanks

The Resmed recognizes the resistance of an obstructive airway and will increase the pressure in an attempt to overcome it. That is why you try to limit the maximum, or you will experience runaway pressure.

Your sleeping position is dictating the OAs. There isn't enough pressure available to overcome that. . . (short of an air compressor

Ha! Just ordered a cervical collar to see if that helps.
