Anyone know just how to read c-pap numbers
I had to increase my air flow on my c-pap
But here is what the VA set them to in the beginning. (Jan 2016)
C-pap pressure 9.0 CM EPR FULL TIME
Apnea Index 0.9 Hypopnea Index 0.0 AHI 0.9
OBSTRUCTIVE :O.8 Central Unknown 0.0
this was set about 5 years ago..I had to re-set these # since then because I kept waking up at night..and I seem to think that the c-pap was not giving out enough air flow for me to sleep , so I adjusted the C-pap as to where the air flow was more stronger and that seem to help with my sleeping. so these #'s have changed (Right)
The VA SLEEP CLINIC is still is using these first #s they had set when I first got the C-pap.
in my medical records.

The major downside to CPAP therapy is that it can take some trial and error: your doctor may need to change the prescribed pressure a few times so that you use the most effective and comfortable setti
