You said there's a huge leak. It might not be a mask issue, however. This must be addressed, period. ASV doesn't tolerate large leaks.

PS, the sleep HQ charts do not show the huge leaks. Commence beating dead horses. We can track this better in OSCAR. Coffee

Will have to wait till I get out of the hospital then, will keep you updated.

I know how to upload and post attachments did, how do I get the Oscar I go to put it here? Sleephq has a share data option through a link, I don't know what to do with Oscar's info.

Go to your Daily screen, press the F12 key (or Fn+F12 for a Mac).

So it's just a print screen? I thought there was another way. Haven't used a computer in about 5 years ??


RE: Air Pressure Issue - Crimson Nape - 10-17-2024

It is sort of like the Print Screen function. However, it only captures OSCAR and removes unnecessary things like the calendar.

Can you please tell me which chart you want? Only the daily? You won't see them the other days issue I've had with setting epap that's blowing my mask away. Also that I was using the max epap settings when I started and can't use them anymore ?

Won't touch Epap at all.

Yes, but you can set it to spontaneous mode as well where min epap won't jump (this is useful for folks suffering from aerophagia).


RE: Air Pressure Issue - SarcasticDave94 - 10-17-2024

A standard OSCAR chart will be fine. You may want to present one like that and one swapping in mask pressure in place of pressure.

On the ASV, to have a static EPAP, this will be via ASV mode. Whether this mode or ASV Auto is more useful will probably depend on how many Obstructive based events there are. I found by using ASV for 2 years that EPAP in the ASV tends to treat most of the Obstructive events, while PS takes in the workload of dealing with Centrals.

Do note that flow limits may be present, and it's due to a side effect of ASV CA treatment.
