Any insight into this? With the trigger at a lower setting does it increase the likelihood of events at the end of exhalation and start of inhalation?

VAuto Trigger Setting
I know the trigger setting is often recommended for users that see CA's and it resolves them. My question is, does the trigger setting have influence on other events? I have recently changed my trigger setting from 'High' back to 'Med' for the last 3 weeks. What I have noticed is an increase in events across the board, OA's & H's. I went from an AHI average around .3 to 1.3 with the trigger on 'Med' the past 3 weeks.
Any insight into this? With the trigger at a lower setting does it increase the likelihood of events at the end of exhalation and start of inhalation?

RE: VAuto Trigger Setting
If you were more comfortable at a high trigger setting, then by all means use it. I have not observed a correlation to obstructive events, but there are so many permutation of individual therapy, perhaps there is something to that. An AHI of 1.3 is still pretty darn good.

RE: VAuto Trigger Setting
I know the AHI is still pretty decent, but was experimenting since I was having the heavy eyes issue and figured it was worth a shot. I am putting the trigger back to 'high' tonight and will see what happens. From looking at my data, the 'Med' trigger setting seems to allow events to creep into my flow.
