Upload of OSCAR Data-Review Help Requested - Diggers4pg - 05-19-2019
Hi all,
I've just finished up my second full week of CPAP use, and I am started to understand the data somewhat. I could really use some guru insight into what I am seeing.
A couple of notes:
1. Mask change from Resmed F10 to F&P Simplus on 05-16-19
2. Changed to current pressures on 5-11-19 (4 to 8 min.)
3. I usually have some wine or other alcohol on weekend nights (at dinner). I have no instances where I have drank to the point of drunk during CPAP use.
4. Initial sleep study (at home setting) was 77 AHI
I am seeing what looks to be patterns across the data, but I do not understand what they really mean. Certainly seems that I have a lot more snores than I would expect after reading others stories. It also seems that my 95% was trending down after min pressure change but is trending up since then. Median pressure was up the last two nights (alcohol?).
In general, I need help but I truly want to understand this data to be able to assist myself. Your assistance in help me get there is really appreciated!
Thank you in advance

Your AHI is good so what I have below is optional
Changes should be based on how you feel looking more at comfort than numbers.
You have quite a few flow limitations and RERAs which are a series of flow limitations followed by arousal. Arousal is bad.
I would set flex to 2 and increase your min pressure by 2. That should have a miminal effect on your therapy but this one change and I expect it to be followed by pressure increases to your min depending on your results

I believe flex is already set at 2. Does that change anything about what you think?
Thanks

I would raise your minimum pressure higher to reduce snores and hypopnoea a further 1cm may help

Thank you! I will do that tonight.

With flex at 2 (check it please) only bump min up 1. With the potential to do more later
