How to know if I am "deep sleeping" in OSCAR with RESMED AutoSet 10? - sebasan2006 - 10-08-2024
Hello, first post here but I have been reading this forum for a couple of months since I started using a CPAP machine and it has been very useful.
I searched for the question in the subject (How to know if I am "deep sleeping" in OSCAR with RESMED AutoSet 10?) but I can't find info (or I am not looking correctly).
Is there a way to know that info looking at the graphs in OSCAR?
I have shared my last five reports because people with more experience can see something I am not seeing. The numbers seems to be acceptable, but I never feel totally rested, some days are better than others, but never totally rested, or maybe I am expecting too much.
I have an appointment with my sleep specialist in a month.
Thank you very much in advance.
Greetings, Sebastian.

Welcome to the forum sebasan2006
You actually need a bilevel machine as you're needing around 19cm of pressure, we can narrow the range down a bit so let's try lowering max from 20cm to 19cm and raise min pressure to 9cm (I'd raise it higher but don't want you to adjust to much change so quickly). I personally slept worse with EPR so you could try turning it down to 1 but this will increase your EPAP pressure by 2cm-so if you can handle it at 1 for a few nights you can try turning it off completely. You have some scattered CAs and RERAs in these too, the narrower band of pressure and turning EPR down will help.

Thank you very much for the advise Phaleronic. I will try those changes in the next nights and return with the results.
