i am happy that encore is finally working
I feel rested I guess that's all that matters.  I don't understand why I am getting anything I have the
pressure up pretty high.

Your settings are a bit unusual for ASV. The EPAP range is 15 to 18, which is very high, and pressure support is 4 to 8 which is on the low side and does not work with the max IPAP limit. It would help to see what pressure range you are actually experiencing. If your EPAP goes to 18 cm, the most pressure support you can receive with those settings is 5-cm. It should be possible to show the pressure chart along with the events.

it's because I don't know what I'm doing. I am setting them blindly just guessing on some posts I've seen on the internet.

I will try to find that chart you mentioned.

Is this your first machine???? Did you have a sleep study? Have you posted your PAP treatment history?

RE: Breaths Per Minute (BPM) - gramma - 05-15-2018

no, not my 1st machine. I've been on regular cpap for a while.  I developed centrals and was given this asv cpap.


i went just humming along fine till this happened.

I must be stupid. What are the numbers along the bottom?  0 through 24 obviously military time.  But, I wasn't asleep at 6 pm (the sleep therapy flags chart)
