Help with Oscar graph please! - Kare - 01-18-2025
Help needed to fine tune my therapy. I have been using cpap since early Oct. last year. My AHI is 6.5 ..and my lowest oxygen desat was 85% I don't feel like I've made a lot of progress I am still tired and groggy most days but hoping with some advice I can get on track and start to feel better. I'm wondering if I need to raise the minimum and maximum pressure. I just turned on EPR to one in the last few days. My leak rate is getting better and my flow limit/rate ? went down after turning on EPR .....any guidance is welcome! THANK YOU

Results look great with AHI less than 1.0. pressure is rising because of flow limitations and if you increase your EPR setting from 1 to 2 or 3 the flow limits will be reduced and it will probably be more comfortable. I don't see a need for other change, but do increase the EPR setting. Your Resmed CPAP is actually a bilevel device and EPR is the key to unlock easier breathing. A few mask leaks or mouth leaks in there, but you're doing very well.
