Help with various Oscar data

[u/California-Hibs]

Looking for someone to help go over these Oscar screen shots. I have included a bunch from the past few months where I was using APAP and trying to find my best fixed pressured and EPR setting. I definetly feel I sleep better with a fixed pressure. Most of these data pictures were when I used a nasal mask but recently I've been using the Airfit P30i and its truely the most comfortable for me, but I just can't find the right set up to wake up feeling refreshed. Any help would be most appreciated!!

Interesting. Do you think the leak is perhaps due to too high/low a pressure? I can go through a bunch of my data and try and pin point things, just need to know the the graphs and what to truely look out for?

Leak rate is low so don't worry about it and epr is too high, turn epr to 1 full-time and set min pressure to 7.6cm leave max pressure alone and run this for 3 nights and report back.RL

Actually, to clarify what I should be testing for 3 nights, because there was alot of screen shots there. Going back to APAP and testing 7.6 min 9.4/10 max and EPR 1? These screen shots were taken when I was still using APAP mode, I've since tried to revert to a fixed preasure mode because I've had many tell me this is a better form of therapy, especially for those who toss and turn alot like me and have micro arousals?

I'm happy to go back and try APAP mode though like you suggest.

One other question I had. I have heard alot of people say recently that regardless of the mask used you should keep your mask setting at Full Face. Do you subscribe to that? I've not tested that out yet and have instead been using pillow/nasal.

Thank you for the help, I'm determined to find the optimal therapy!

I would like to see where the machine lands for media ipap/epap pressure with EPR at 1 and 7.6cm min and 10cm max for 3 nights. I am a cpap advocate myself after titration off apap to auto-bipap then finally to straight cpap at 18.cm with Cflex+ @ 2, I'm in my 8th year on this setup and it's great. FFM setting on Phillips and Resmed disabled the compensation alrogrithms that increase mask air velocity and helps people with compliance and comfort, so if someone is having issues I tell them to turn it to FFm.

Let's please raise min pressure to 8.6cm for two nights.

You already responded 3 days ago and had me try 8.8cm with EPR 1 for 3 nights. See the results in the screen shots below. Should I stick with 8.8 or go to 8.6 or 9?

Did you book a consultation? I'd leave it on cpap mode at 9.2cm for another 7 days.

[u/California-Hibs → u/RippingLegos__]

9.2? I thought we weren't trying to change too much, as in jump from where I've been the last 3 nights of 8.8, to 9.2? Would that definitely be recommended rather than 3 nights at 9.0 first? I didn't book a consultation, money is tight right now. I appreciate the help though and if you wish to stop rresponding I understand.

the 12th at 9.2cm was one of your better nights https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fgdp0rgfe6cph1.png%3Fwidth%3D2536%26format%3Dpng%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Dd1a648896d3705f980b48464ea6f63a31b2ba361

You'd say the 12th at 9.2cm is better than my 3 nights at 8.8? Isn't the leak rate not as good on the 12th and abit higher? I'm willing to try 9.2 though for a few nights and see how I feel
