RE: Finally I got ASV ! - Sleeprider - 06-21-2024
A chart would really help us identify the conditions prevalent at the time of Aerophagia. What we want to do is adjust lower, compromising some events for better comfort. Your 15-cm PS looks like a good candidate to cut, but without the chart we're just guessing. On CPAP your results were high CA index and some periodic breathing. Your pressure with CPAP generally capped at 12/9 pressure with EPR. We need to see an update: CPAP Results

Can you post any recent chart? I need to see what amount of room there is to trim pressures downward.

Of course here are the charts of last night :

Any idea before sleeping
?
RE: Finally I got ASV ! - SarcasticDave94 - 06-21-2024
My thoughts would be this
Still running in ASV Auto mode
EPAP 6-8 means edit Max down 2
PS 3-12 meaning edit Max down 3
Result is IPAP Max down 5
Try to leave Ramp off.

I agree with Dave, and the hypopnea is likely obstructive and brings me back to suspecting a positional issue. https://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php?title=Optimizing_therapy#Positional_Apnea

Hi !
With your settings it was one of my best night for many years.
Here's the chart :

Nothing to report but a kind of dizziness in the morning.
Bravo !!!

You will feel like a new person on this machine!! I do! Get up in the morning without rolling out of bed, I get up and get to my day. It’s actually an amazing machine!

Hi !
Last night was not as good but still better than normal CPAP.
Here are screenshot

What do you think ? A slight adjustment is possible ?
One strange thing is today with feeling of light dizziness, big fatigue, whereas correct AHI.
Yesterday was perfect.
Thanks
Serge

I'm seeing a Positional Apnea pattern later in the session. This is that clustered many events, one follows another in rapid succession look.
You have to prevent the external, physical choking of the airway. This requires external, physical prevention. You can try a thinner pillow of the soft cervical collar to prevent chin tuck.
