RE: acquired an aircurve vauto 10/self titrating - eok361 - 10-20-2024
i tried bi-level again last night. these are the results. my usual cpap pressure is 11, so i used that as a high, and 7 for the low. the other settings i'm not familiar with.
can anyone offer suggestions? i normally use v-com with the cpap, but took it out of the circuit for the bi-level.

made minor adjustments and had worse numbers. trying to self-titrate with bi-level is tricky.

I don't mean to interfere with the excellent help you are being provided, but I just thought I'd throw my two-cents in here. If it was me, I would raise my minimum EPAP pressure to 6 cm and change the "Trigger" setting to "High".

I wouldn't change too many things at once. Your Flow Limit is looking pretty good for now. Unless you are experiencing discomfort, I wouldn't change it until you try the other changes.

it looks like bi-level likes much lower numbers for me than regular CPAP. i tried a new nasal pillow mask (p30i). i used mouth tape, too. it looks like the tape failed at around 4:15.
for some reason my wellue 02 ring won't connect to my pc this morning. it's charging, but shows up as not connected in the software. i'll have to dig up an old cable to try that. i hope the data saves on the ring.

Just to make sure you know, the O2Ring uses a special cable.

i'm using the cable that came with it. and it worked until this morning.
i downloaded the data to my phone and emailed it to myself. when i tried to import it into oscar, it said it imported, but no spo2 or pulse info shows up.
i'll have to reach out to wellue for a new cable i guess.

i definitely need to eliminate the pillows leaks.
should i lower the max pressure level?
and the o2 ring is working again. i had to do a little flexing of the cable to make it work.

I would not change anything. The leak is positional. Your mask probably brushed up against your pillow. How do you feel?
