johnathanb76 - Therapy Help In Migrating to a Resmed

[johnathanb76]

No, my first night using my Resmed 10 was that day, yes. And yes that day, I only had it on two hours but looking at my graph and my other images I have posted, you can see my results that I've been wearing it everyday since then.

I think you confused yourself and merged my threads when it wasn't needed. It happens.

I have no idea what that last post was for, but it was about 100 lines of nonsense code, so I deleted it.

Take EPR to setting 3 and leave minimum and maximum pressure as-is.  Events are low, but flow limits tend to be high and result in a lot of changes in pressure.

If this was your first night on therapy, your Oscar chart shows only 2-1/2 hours of therapy, and there are therapy sessions back to March 31.  I suspect you started a new thread, and I'm off to go merge your other thread.

So what settings would you reccomend? I do still need help with this. Going off my Oscar data and the 95% pressure, I changed my settings to 11 to 13 with an EPR of 3.

Thanks buddy!

I was indeed confused, so let's start with your graph asking for better settings.  Your CPAP time indicates you are sleeping from about 05:00 to 19:00 (5:00 AM to 7:00 PM), about 13 hours.  Since this crosses the noon hour, it appears as two graphs.  If you clock is wrong, we can correct that, or leave it as-is.  It appears you started with a pressure of 8-11 without EPR and moved to 10-14 with EPR 1.  The flow limits are what makes pressure bounce around so much, so we want to find a comfortable minimum pressure and use EPR 3.  I'm going to suggest minimum pressure 9.0 maximum pressure 12.0 and EPR full-time at setting 3.

Thank you! Ill try these settings. But I don't really sleep 13 hours lol, I get off work at 1:30 AM and go to bed around 4:30AM, sometimes 7AM depending on the day. Last night I switched my settings to 11-13 with an EPR of 3 and it worked out pretty well. Didn't wakeup as much. I'm just unsure if I can do an EPR of 3 at 9 lowest since anything below 9 makes me feel like I'm suffocating on exhale.

I'm fine with trying 8.0 as a minimum pressure. In reality with EPR, you are getting 9.0/6.0 (inhale/exhale) pressure. At 8.0 minimum you get 8.0/5.0. Either is fine and will be responsive. In the graph above, your median pressure was 9.5/9.0, so I was actually reducing that. Start at 8.0 minimum with EPR 3 and make the maximum 11.0. With EPR, you won't even need that maximum pressure.

Thank you for the help, it is greatly appreciated getting this help for sure. Ill definitely try this!
