Help with APAP settings - pendergast - 11-16-2024
Hey,
Just tried my first night of APAP using a Resmed Airsense 11. My sleep study indicated an AHI of 15.5.
My machine is set to a range of 5-15 cm H20. I'm using a nasal pillow cushion with a F&P Solo.
I guess I feel ok the next day (but then again, my only symptom of sleep apnea was snoring). Should I be worried about any of the results? I see that the leak rate is high - any recommendations for that?
Should I be changing my max pressure to help with that?

Thanks!

Also, I have a Samsung watch I use for sleep tracking - it showed that while my O2 levels were better (the typical lowest recorded is 81%), it was now 89%. Anything I should be changing to help with that? Also, I see that I wasn't able to stay in deep sleep, I kept falling between deep sleep and light sleep - is that just because I'm getting used to a CPAP?

I would make 2 changes. Min 8 and EPR 3. Please post again with those settings.
