Oh I missed that. Didn't realise that was today. Thank you for posting. Some doctors watching this webinar would have been blown away that we as patients have access to more data than they do.
You're welcome! I honestly think they prefer living in the dark. It's less work for them and i think that's the main reason why they frown at any patient who shows up with some SleepHQ or OSCAR charts. Must be very embarrassing for them.
@@CPAPReviews Yep. My sleep doc (a highly respected pulmonologist with a major U.S. health care organization) refused to take charts and reports I printed out, saying he didn't want to include them in my file. He was happy just looking at the ResMed summary data he had since it showed 100% compliance and consistent low AHI.
it has started, i have recently been diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, and well i think i knew for a while, but i have multiple issues making sleeping hard for me. but with an AHI of 29 per hours depending on sleeping posture ranging from 17 - 38, that was my average. I just got my CPAP machine, and I wanted to thank you for the information i got to prepare me for the experience and also to confirm that despite its relative difficulty to adjust to sleep with a CPAP machine 9 out of 10 times, a CPAP machine is the best and easiest fix. Covered by my health care provided, I got the option between the Philips dreamstation 2, Resmed Airsense 11, and the Lowenstein Prisma Smart. My doctor told me to not get the Lowenstein because it has issue with proper recording of sleep events. So I ended up going with a Full face mask by Lowenstein, paired with a Resmed Airsense 11. id be interested in sharing my experience a little, if it at all can help anyone thanks again Nick
I used to think APAP or Bilevel would be better especially when you have a few beers on the weekend but found a straight CPAP with set pressure, VCOM and mouth tape to be perfect wether I drank on not. Search ended for me. Wished I hadn't chased a Vauto when I started when it wasn't needed. Just an edit, I was 11.2cm straight CPAP FF Vitera with mouth tape and now running 12.4cm with VCOM before mask. I will try another move to a nasal over the next week.
Disgusted with it all. I thought I had a good clinician but all the sudden I never heard anything from her in 9 months. Our last conversation was Winter 2023 after I had Covid and came back from a trip to a lower elevation. She looked at my data upon arriving back to my home in a high elevation and made the statement, she thinks my issues are elevational. At that appointment, she wanted me to retest at a lower elevation curious to see if I still showed Central apnea. Tried to reach her today and now she states when you move, you need to be tested there. Problem is I have insurance now and want it taken care of. I have their machine I’ve had over a year now. I can’t track my data and don’t know how the heck I am doing! Don’t know what to do at this point. I do work in a hospital and may see if they will do a home study at a lower elevation. What are your thoughts on the home study?
Uncle Nicko, he mentioned that doctors have difficulty in understanding waveform data. Then how is it that you and others understand waveform data, but sleep therapy doctors cannot take the time to learn the science to better serve their paying customers?
Hey bro, they understand it just fine, it just they don't get access it to it and probably don't have the time to go looking though it. The specialists i've worked with see around 4 patients and hour and it can take months to get an appointment. I think it's more on the CPAP coaches to learn this stuff as it really helps with optimising the pressure levels which was also discussed. Cheers
That is an easy one. Md's are a gear in a money making machine. They get 10minutes now per patient. But to your serious question. I will use Nicko as an example. Nicko is keen to understand that no matter what profession we are in, we are only as goos as the data that drives our decisions. Nicko is a Data Hog. But beyond that he has the secret sauce that makes it all work. What's in the sauce ? A big helping of integrity and giving a shit about people who are suffering. Dr's as a whole have given away their power to structure their own time. Why? They like the model of Medical school caps on Graduating Dr's to keep supply and demand working in their favor. Less Dr's = Higher pay. Patients are just seen as a monetary resource to harvest. Nicko on the other hand is the Gold standard. That is the difference between a Healer and a Gold digger. Thanks
Years ago, I would print out on paper, the worst days. Show to the Doctor, apneas of 1m50s 1m55s. Explaining that when I wake, I feel like I am having a heart-attack. He says, stop looking at the data and let's give it a few months, and look again. Yea, if I am alive. I have heard people say you don't die from sleep apnea, only shorter lives due to the effects. While yes, ultimately your body may wake you... it is not all calm seas and warm baths... it is heart rate of 170+bpm and extreme stress. I must imagine that are dead right there.
Nicko, I noticed at one point in the vid that you gestured favourably toward the lowenstein. If you were in the position to upgrade from an airsense 11 to Low would you? Cost aside.
Do you know if when you connect the air sense 11 to the expensive official Pulse oximeter via Bluetooth... is that data used in the algorithm to determine appropriate pressure?
I've been on apap for a number of years but when I bought an oximeter ring my numbers weren't that great. Switched to cpap and now O2 is more consistent every night
It infuriates me that my DME provider doesn't look at the full data. Can't imagine how many people like me are suffering with 0.00 AHIs and being told their therapy is working, while waking up feeling like death.
My DS2 two nights ago. At 1:45 am I awoke to my nasal pillow being blow up on my face, like a balloon. Leaking loudly. I could not get it to stop. So I turned it off, the AHI WAS OVER 20 on the display screen. When I turned it back on it started with the 30 minute ramp of 8 pressure again. An hour later I had to stop it again. In the morning it offered me an AHI OF OVER 10. This DS2 has reported bizarre readings, non-usage days (I use it EVERY NIGHT), a no leak report even when it goes off spewing air due to pressure above the max settings. I HATE THIS MACHINE, as I’ve suffered since Phillips shipped it to me in Nov of 2021 to replace my DS1 recalled unit. I will be getting a ResMed in January. Will it perform better? God, please assure me this nightmare will be over!
So what alogrythm wasnt talked about because it isnt available in the US? you said it while he was talking about it but Im not a lip reader :D. I would have like an in depth analysis of the löwenstein algorythm to be honest.

Outstanding webinar worthy of one's time! The information backed up what Nicko has been telling us for a while like wearing an oximeter.
Oh lordy!! He's gonna read the PPT slides 🥺
it has started, i have recently been diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, and well i think i knew for a while, but i have multiple issues making sleeping hard for me.
but with an AHI of 29 per hours depending on sleeping posture ranging from 17 - 38, that was my average.

I like CPAP 25 years, 13cm for me, with AHI < 0.3 daily. Surprised so many of my family on APAP 4-20cm. Come on Doctors, is there even mentation?

CPAP makers should really take the advantage of the AI and figure all these things out.
I've been on apap for a number of years but when I bought an oximeter ring my numbers weren't that great. Switched to cpap and now O2 is more consistent every night
My 92 really improved when i turned off EPR, when i switched to fix. Hitting perfect o2 numbers now.
