In Need of Help Analyzing Source of Leaks in Oscar - rosebladepat - 10-01-2023
[attachment=54698][attachment=54699][attachment=54700]I've been having a tough time sleeping, mostly due to waking up to leaks (either from my mouth or, possibly, from the nasal cushion. I currently use an AirFit N30i with a small cushion and I tape my mouth (with 3m tape)
If I can get rid of the wake-ups, I feel like I'll be in a good position in terms of sleep quality.
Here's a list of my current ASV (Resmed AirCurve 10 ASV) settings:
Mode
ASVAuto
Min EPAP - 6.20 cmH2O
Max EPAP - 9.20 cmH2O
Min IPAP - 11.00 cmH2O
Max IPAP - 23.00 cmH2O
PS Min - 4.80 cmH2O
PS Max - 13.80 cmH2O
Last night (which is what the data below relates to), I consciously woke up five or so times and noticed air leaking through my mouth and the slightly porous tape. I kept retaping to try to fix that issue.
My question about the data below is:
In these different episodes, and I'm not sure if there's a way to tell,
are the leaks happening as a result of the pressure being too much?
Or, are the leaks the cause of my sleep disruptions?
Also, is there a way to tell if the leaks are coming from my mouth or from the nasal cushions?
[attachment=54701][attachment=54702][attachment=54703]I just wanted to add a couple more attachments to my original post, inquiring about leak sources in Oscar
Thanks, in advance to all....
