      @Jay G. yeah no need to worry about all the heart attacks and strokes. As long as there's no car accidents all is well. Like saying to a diabetic, hey don't worry about your blood sugar levels. As long as your Kidneys don't pack up and fail eat as much Cake as you like. Ignorance is BLISS but personally i'd prefer an extra 5 years on earth especially considering it takes about 7 days to get the settings perfect. It also dramatically improves comfort, mask leaks and everything else.

      @@CPAPReviews I tend to agree, my doctor is pretty straight with her responses, and the first thing she said when she read my sleep test results is "I'm very surprised you are not dead". Apparently my AHI was 65 and my O2 was at 70% for most of my sleeping hours. She then told me that I had to leave work right now and head to my local Resmed seller for a CPAP trial. It was an immediate success, but it did take nearly 6 months for me to not take masks off and get my settings right. Without looking at the charts and knowing what the results mean, as well as how to influence them in the right way I doubt I would have got there in the end. And I have this channel, along with other resources to thank for that. Knowing the behind the scenes stuff is crucial for you to make informed decisions instead of blindly changing settings.

      @ahgflyguy Год назад

      ??? what is good about this? He showed that in soft response, the pressure did not increase in response to a hypopnea. And then he recommended switching to regular response mode. But he never showed that regular response mode increases pressure in response to a hypopnea. So, he missed his own point by failing to make it. And you (and many others) failed to notice that he didn't actually make his point. This is like saying "if Albert isn't the murderer, then it must have been Benjamin" without any further evidence.

    Hi Nick, this is really good. I had a question about those missed apnea detections (from the ResMed machine) and hence the effect on AHI. Couldn’t SleepHQ automagically flag those as the data exists? And then provide a ‘more likely’ AHI?

  • @lesliehyde
    @lesliehyde Год назад +2

    I have an airsense 10 and I've opted to alter several settings and I sleep quite wonderfully and never have an AHI during a "session" if you will higher than 5 (I've been instructed to use my cpap machine anytime I'm laying in bed out of high risk for falling asleep by my sleep medicine provider, neurologist and pain management provider).
    Setting changes that I've made are as follows-
    Change pressure range from 4 to 20 to 4 to 7.8. I can't go higher than 7.8 because the split second the machine hits a pressure of 8 I wake up with a MASSIVE jolt.
    Changed EPR from 2 to 3.
    Changed response from standard to soft as I'm easily woken by sudden changes in pressure wakes me up from a deep sleep.
    Lastly, I purchased a non humidifier side plate to change out the humidifier chamber. This isn’t to say that I would never use a humidifier chamber but I have an in-line HME device for my humidification needs so use of a humidifier chamber is a bit of a moot point considering the HME device that is in-line on my tubing setup.

In the middle of the night I might go downstairs for some reason, coming back up the stairs, and going back to bed, my breathing was labored and my heart rate was up. I would put the CPAP back on to try and go back to sleep. The CPAP was so LOW that I take it off and let my body "normalize", then put it back on a bit later. God bless! AL in CT

    Its all depending on the algorithm yes. I cannot run cpap, as pressure needs to be constantly to high, and affects sleep too much. I am thankful to have the Löwenstein Prisma Smart Max, which has an algorithm you can trust and makes small increases/decreases - depending on need, but also flow limitation (in dynamic mode). Therefore i run my APAP from 9-13, which is perfect as long my leaks are low and I sleep on right side (13 too high constantly). Thought the Resmed machines were better than the more “unknown” Löwenstein. I was wrong and still awaits uncle Nicko’s review on that matter 😍.

    in this video you go over how the ResMed system is missing events and that the persons reported AHI of ~10 is actualy closer to ~20 AHI.. It is always good to call out these situations where the systems are not properly identifying AHI events but if that is such a common thing SleepHQ could develop your own analisys of data that you import and apply your own analyisis anf flags to the data that is imported OR allow manual flags to be added to the data by the end user to provide a more real view of AHI than the machine is just reporting.

    We just got my husband's CPAP machine, the ResMed AirSense 11, a few days ago.
    I think everything i set to Auto. The prescribed pressure is only 5 (by the Dr.).
    So where on the AS 11 do you choose Standard or Soft? I'm not seeing that, specifically, in the menus.
    Perhaps different firmware in N. America???
    Also, that software that you are using there, is it available here in N. America and does it connect directly to the machine via Bluetooth?
    Right now, I'm using the ResMed Windows app and the Android app. They are very basic. There's nothing like what I'm seeing on your screen there.
    Please let me know if that's available, what it's called and a link where possible. As well, please, where to find this setting that you speak of.

    If you mimic that your air is blocked it increases pressure, it tries to match sleep cycle and do high pressure for rem sleep but i get up alot so it restarts to 6. if you hold both menu buttons it lets you change deep settings, i like it starting higher, but i hate the starting pressure at 6. I need like 8-9, and i hate when it pops between breaths when its too humid. I hate that if i swallow it pops my ears though, and my teeth feel wierd in morning from how tight it is against lower front teeth. I set it to CPAP instead kf auto and it started at pressure 18, pretty intense. Also, I hate when it smells like alcohol or if the dog farts in the room its freaking torture!

    Finally! I’ve debated these “comfort” features with the Resmed reps and so called specialists for years.

Can’t wait to see your breakdown of EPR.

    Question: Has there ever been issues AFTER a new update, that has caused problems, like with incorrect data (or incomplete) being sent to the server?
    Our AS11 was updated yesterday morning and this morning, after it sending 2 updates, one at around 2am and the other at 9:05AM, the numbers are wrong.
    Perhaps it will send another update and correct everything. I've seen that before, but only where a 2am (or so) update was sent and of course, those numbers are not for the entire night, but later in the day, another update sends the rest of the data and it's correct.
    But today, with even both updates, the number on MyAir are not correct. The first update, 2am was of course, way off, but the 9:05am, I would think, should be correct, but it's not.
    I'm just curious if this is an issue or well known to work this way (delays, several updates, then finally correct) ???

    EPS is generally bad, it can pull CO2 out of your system which is the signal to breath. I did a pressure of 10.2 which wasn't doing it. I turned off EPS and O2 levels went up and events dropped to just shy of normal. The rest was accomplished by turning off ramp. Set the damn thing so that it doesn't leak and sleep, that ramp is just "free apnea event time" and then added a mild boost to the pressure range. As I lost weight, I periodically experiment with lower pressure and see the result and that allows me to step it down as the weight goes off.

    I set mine to autoset a few days ago to try it out. I woke up with headaches again and was exhausted all day.
    Set it back to the my standard pressure of 12, and I'm back to normal.
    It may have been a glitch, but i don't think autoset is for everyone. A little experimentation goes a long way.

    Hello all. I am new to CPAP (Resmed 11) and can't get this thing figured out. I have tried 2 masks now, the resmed f20 and the f30i. I like the f30i much better but I find myself gasping for air in either mask. I am struggling to balance my mask leaks with increased in pressure. At the low pressure of 4, the valves in the mask woosh and pop as I am breathing at a faster rate that the geometry allows. Once the pressure hits the 8 ish range, things get better. The sleep study seemed to show more central apneas than obstructive apneas (to my untrained eye) but the RT says the majority are obstructive. I have been using the machine and the machine is showing 90% or more of the events as central apneas. I can only make it about an hour and a half with the device. Before I fall asleep, I find myself gasping for air and then check my SpO2. Sometimes it is in the 70's. At this point, shut the machine down, remove the mask, and go to sleep.
    The program in this video seems cool. The machine does not have a method for checking my SpO2. Is that an add on? Any advice you can provide will be greatly appreciated. I really want to get this thing figured out so I am not ready to throw in the towel yet.

    Res med airsense 11. APAP. I have EPR on full time at level 3. Soft response. Range 7-13. Pillows. I have a perfect mask seal every night. AHI is usually less than or equal to 1. When I read the results in the morning, the pressure is usually 9-11. I'm afraid that if I switch to standard response, it will be too aggressive. It seems like because I'm a low pressure patient I can get away with the standard response. Should I still concidered changing it?

    Very interesting. I'm stuffed with my machine, the sleep specialist knows less than you and I feel like I have to accept an AHI between 9-15 everynite and waking with swollen eyes exhausted.
    Im at the stage of giving up. With my AHI at those levels is it even worth continuing therapy?

    @cpapreviews Wondering if you are considering adding a CO2 monitor to your ring. I'm a CO2 retainer and have started BIPAP but they don't know if the pressures are right for me and their methods will take forever to figure that out. I'd like more info and more than spot checks every 6 months or so.

    I am seeing the same issue with my ResMed missing flags, although I find it interesting that I had the same issue with my Philips machine. I believe that it is a programming design decision to make the use of the machines look better by appearing that they are lowering the number of times that the user encountered issues because of the machine use. Just my thoughts

    I have a res med with full face mask it has a valve to let air into your lungs if the machine stops working. The machine puts pressure on your lungs I have checked my mask with a tissue while on my face and I have no leaks. My question is with the machine on when I breath out where does the spent air go? When I ask this question I get dumb answers!

    I've been buggering around with my settings so much I'm thinking of setting it back to my initial specialists' settings and starting again. I've gotten the the stage it seems I cannot sleep longer that 2.5 hrs without waking all nite.
    It's doing hell for my sleep and Im so exhausted. I often find myself slipping my mask off and getting an additional 5hrs sleep uninterrupted without the mask.
    I'm at a loss...

    I guess my question would be my events tend to be under 3 fairly consistent but I'm still always tired when I wake up. I believe my setting on the resmed 11 is 6 to 15. How can I improve on that? Also my oxygen levels are generally below 90. Typically around 85.

    • @CPAPReviews
      @CPAPReviews  8 месяцев назад

      Hey mate, it's very hard to provide advice without seeing any data or breathing however you're likely tired because of those low O2 levels and normally increasing EPAP will improve oxygenation. I'd also work on your sleeping position. Do your best to stay off your back and sleeping on a slight angle will also help. Cheers

    Is it better to refine it down to just 1 CPAP pressure, or to just have a narrow APAP pressure range?

    • @StrongDreamsWaitHere
      @StrongDreamsWaitHere Год назад

      With fixed pressure, you either settle for a pressure that gives you less than 100% control, or you pick a higher pressure that gives you 100% control but is more than you need for most of the night and may be uncomfortable. I suspect APAP with an intelligently chosen range would be the best, but most patients don't get the quality of care for that and have to seek it on their own.

    • @StrongDreamsWaitHere
      @StrongDreamsWaitHere Год назад

      For example, I sometimes wake up with very high pressure. I reset the machine and go back to sleep. Would it be better to set a lower max so I don't wake up all the way, but at the price of having a few uncontrolled events? I don't know. I may think about experimenting on myself.

      @@StrongDreamsWaitHere
      Hey, I'm not a sleep tech, but just with my own experience . . .
      Yes, you should reduce your max pressure. If it's waking you up, then it's counter-productive. Your goal should NOT be 0 events, it should be a low AHI (below 5 for sure and ideally below 2 or so, I'd say) and a restful night's sleep.
      Most folks have good control of apnea at about 10cm, and the machine will go to 20cm. My advice, without knowing anything about you or seeing your sleep data, would be to set your max pressure at 15cm as a trial and watch your AHI numbers every day. As long as your numbers are below 5 for a few days, drop the pressure by 1cm and watch for a few days again. If your AHI increases, then go back up a cm or two. Ideally you will find the lowest top pressure that will keep you apnea controlled. And DO give each setting a few days to a week. A single night's AHI is not a good indicator, it can bounce around a bit.
      Again, I'm not any kind of expert, If anyone here thinks I'm giving bad advice, please share.
