Transitioning from SH to OSCAR
== Justifying ASV ==
It is very likely that you are here because someone referred you here because after reviewing your Sleepyhead [[OSCAR]] daily charts and/or your Sleep Studies they felt that you are a candidate for an Advanced PAP machine such as one of the Bi-Levels. There are two paths to treatment and the choice is yours.
'''Path 1:''' The path that you were thrown into whether you realize it or not. That is to treat your apnea, whatever types of apnea that you have, with the machine they gave you, a CPAP, preferable an auto-CPAP either the ResMed or the Philips Respironics machines. New members of the forum come here looking for help with intractable apnea and discomfort from these problems. The forum members and "gurus" are very good at optimizing therapy to reduce these problems, and increase comfort with the therapy.
# Frequent awakenings, or '''''"How do you feel?"'''''
# Nonrestorative sleep, '''''"How do you feel?" Nonrestorative sleep is defined as the subjective feeling that sleep has been insufficiently refreshing'''''
# Snoring, '''''Can be documented on SleepyheadOSCAR'''''
# Witnessed apneas '''''Most of us have this one with our significant others'''''
