Need help with setting minimum pressure for my Father. - Jamie Connor - 01-06-2024

Hello there, My father was diagnosed with sleep apnea since last week. initially machine was at 4-20 auto and he slept well for 1st two days but later he started to complain of suffocation. Day before he couldn't sleep at all and yesterday i set the minimum pressure to 9 and he slept for 5 hrs.

I have one week OSCAR data which i am attaching. Please bear with me if i make a mistake as i am not very savvy with all this. Any advice is helpful whether i should keep the minimum pressure at 9 or reduce it.

Hi Jamie Connor!  -  welcome:
You are up very early.  We really need to see a Daily screenshot.  In order to post the best image, I have listed the steps below to help you.
  1. Make sure that your display is set to the Standard view, your graphs are in the default order, and all graphs are of the same size.
     If not:
    • To reset the Default Graph Order:  Go to (View > Reset Graphs > Standard)
    • To reset Graph Heights:  Go to (View > Reset Graphs Heights)
  2. Resize the Daily screen's left panel's width, so each channel parameter only uses one line and does not wrap the data.  This allows more information to be displayed.

  3. Make sure you are at the top of the Daily screen and have not scrolled down.  Also, make sure you are displaying the complete day's data, and not zoomed in to any specific time range. (Take a guess as to why we mention all this. . .)

  4. To take a screenshot of your Daily screen, select one of the following:
    • For Windows or Linux: Use the F12 key
    • For a Mac: While holding down the Fn key, press the F12 key.
  5.  Follow the steps here to post an image: https://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread-How-to-Attachments

I hope this will help.
