Preparing for first night with CPAP (help required) - applebee - 10-28-2023 Hi all, what an amazing resource you've set up here. I have a ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet arriving tomorrow with a nasal mask.  I have also purchased a Wellue O2Ring oximeter, which will arrive in a week.  I have never used a CPAP or other breathing equipment before. I am hoping to get some advice on initial settings and the process to dial in my pressure range.  I have downloaded OSCAR. Based on some research I've done, here is what I have so far: Settings (clinician's menu) Mode: AutoSet Max Pressure: 20 Min Pressure: 5 Mask: Nasal Ramp: Off EPR: Off Climate Control: Auto Tube Temp: Auto AB Filter: No SmartStart: On Questions Is 5-20 a good starting point?  Once I've put my data into OSCAR, is there a good straightforward tutorial to help me analyse it? I can post the screenshot of the first night in a couple of days as well. RE: Preparing for first night with CPAP (help required) - applebee - 10-28-2023 Oh I found the Optimising Therapy Wiki page right after posting this. I'll change to 6-20 cmH2O in Auto mode and post a screenshot after the first night. RE: Preparing for first night with CPAP (help required) - staceyburke - 10-28-2023 To start with I would try the following set. Min 7 max 20 EPR on FULL TIME EPR set to 3 Turn off Ramp. This is what I would recommend and then post tomorrow you Oscar with the charts organized as in my signature.
