How To Adjust Pressure and Other Settings On Philips Respironics DreamStation CPAP

[@ozarksfirewood3936]

Your video is still helping people, 3 years later. I just received a replacement for my old, recalled CPAP machine. Like others have stated, mine was set to 4.0 and my old machine was set to 10.5. After a 15 second search on KZbin, I found your video and voila, the adjustment was made to the correct pressure! Thanks a bunch!!👍🏼

[@sheldonzimet863]

GREAT THANKS MY MACHINE WAS ON5.5 NOW ON 7 IT WAS WAKING ME UP EVERYTIME I FELL ASLEEP

[@RedCloudBeechWaveAhh]

My sleep doctor has repeated over and over that I shouldn't change settings on my own. Thinking about it, I realize that, with some knowledge and intelligence, one can certainly do it, and should. I don't need to make an appointment for every change. I can understand the caution, but the care has been really simple, so far. Thanks for liberation me from endless unnecessary appointments.

[@tuffy135ify]

My sleep doctor charged me triple the cost of the machine AFTER insurance, so I have trouble trusting them

I received a replacement CPAP from Philips, it was set to 4! I called their customer service. After being on hold for 45 minutes, I asked how to get my old settings onto the new machine. They were no help. My doctor is an hour away. Then I thought maybe if I googled it....and I found your video. It's now set. Thank you!

I can’t thank you enough. My daughters C-pap got fried during the big storm hawaii recently had. The sleep center (due to the recall) can’t estimate it’s replacement. She almost literally died because of no machine. So I got ones on my own and thanks to you was able to program it! Can’t thank you enough! Mahalo nui loa!!

[@RespShop]

Thank you

[@jlover911]

you need the pressure your dr recommended

[@DFWJon]

@@jlover911 Oh, don’t worry. When he starts waking up with headaches and tired like he didn’t get much sleep, I’m pretty sure he will be bumping it back up!!! I mean, there is probably a reason that you feel like a balloon. Maybe, I t’s because the machine is literally keeping your airway open so that you can breathe while you’re asleep!!! Without that, you ain’t breathing like you should and therefore you’re not benefiting from the machine. But, what do I know??? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Anyways… HAPPY APNEA DREAMS, Dr. JHK!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@powernoodle1224]

Thank you for an informative video that solved my problem. While a sleep study can be a good thing, its a complete scam IMO that CPAPs are not available without a prescription. We should certainly be able to adjust these on our own without feeling like criminals. Our docs adjusts it based on what we tell them, so we might as well cut out the middle man and save a bunch of time, money and grief.

[@CP-mj8wd]

I'm anxious to try this. I have been off my machine for months. I need to reduce the pressure until I can adjust. Thankful so much wish I had watched this sooner.

[@RespShop]

We are glad the video was of help to you. We do always advise patient to confirm with your primary care physician if the changes you made are working well for your therapy. To avoid under or over treatment. Too little pressure will cause apneas to go untreated, where as too much pressure can cause issues with exhalation and retaining your CO2 levels.

[@redryder1312]

My machine replacement finally came in after 2 years. It was not programmed, so I'll look at my settigs from the old one and set the new one like it. My letter says I don't need to return old one, so I have a back up one now. VA says they can program it remotely, but no modem came with my original one.

[@ItsTreen]

This video was literally a life saver! My CPAP was started at 5 and that was neat enough😩 As a result, my blood pressure was high almost all day. Can't get a Dr appt until 2/2/22. Thank you for empowering me!!

[@florvanegas8881]

Question since I am new to this. If I feel that I can’t get it to breath do I need to lower the pressure? I feel I need to open my mouth to be able to breathe. TY

[@NerdyGal28]

Oh. My. God. Thank you so much for this! The APAP was annoying me so much after having a CPAP for 15 years. My CPAP broke, had to get another and they only had “apap”s. I used this trick and set it up like my old one and it’s perfect!!

My CPAP had gotten to where it was more whispering than blowing and the lights were very dim, then bright, etc., and a new one requires a sleep study, script, etc., plus around $1,000. So I'm trying this. I must say that the instructions in the video are perfect for finding your way around on the machine. As for how my machine will respond....don't know yet but I do know that the instructions were just great. Thank you.

Been trying to get my doctor to lower the high pressure setting. It would ramp up in the middle of the night and wake me up blowing out my mask. So I would turn it off so it would start again at 4. But then it seemed to ramp up quicker. Doc was reluctant and set it one lower, not enough. Thanks to you I can adjust it to my comfort level. Thanks for giving me a long night's sleep! I love my dream station. I tried the recall replacement and sent it back. It's a terrible, terrible design. I ordered a replacement foam chamber from Amazon and changed it myself. I'm good to go now.

[@f-stop8550]

It also took a dive off my nightstand once. Did a somersault, landed upright and was still pumping air and no water leaked out!. It's a tank!

Thank you so much for this clip. I tried long time to find the way to adjust my Cpap pressure as I bought the used machine and seemed all was set and fixed. I likely need more pressure than the previous user and even the manual didn’t tell us enough info how to use the machine. This video is the best as it is very helpful to me.

[@sandhillspatty8251]

This was such a help. As we get older, our lungs get less elastic. Old Pressure was prescribed 14 years ago.(11) With a pulse oximeter....and checking it during the night, I can safely turn old pressure setting up, one click at a time, until I don't wake up , with my heart beating too fast, because of lack of oxygen. Now, I can change my setting. I do believe you should have a sleep apnea test......... to begin with. I do have a friend, who will not wear her CPAP.... it's set too high............ Don't give up hope............I cried tears, the first 3 nights of CPAP. Then the 4th night... I had the best sleep of my life. I no longer felt so sleepy during the day, I was falling asleep, tired, and couldn't drive anywhere, without falling asleep and can't keep eyes open. Then I got energy and lost 30 lbs!!! Now I love it, and I can not sleep without a CPAP.

Thank you, this was a lifesaver. My new Dr. said he was going to request that respironics remove a setting my previous Dr. had set. They instead turned my lower setting to almost nothing. My machine was blasting me at the high setting then dropping to nothing with every breath. I couldn't sleep. To make this even better they did this on a Friday night when there's no way I can call the doctor and ask them to have it changed again. Mine must be an older unit because a lot of the settings in this video are not on there but I was able to set the lower setting back up. Much more comfortable. Edited to remove the actual numbers.

NO, I don't need another sleep study, I need the top pressure to be lowered so I'm not swallowing air when my mask invariably leaks. (I am a side sleeper, it gets moved, whatever) Thank you!

I don't have heated tube. THX! Update: My son (software developer) restored the "preheat" by going in "advanced settings" , I took the modem out the other day(day before humid stopped heating) to show him the chip, and put it back in... he said maybe doing that reset to default/not advanced setting since some machines don't have the preheat humidifier , wish me luck, what a great service you are doing!

I was very surprised that sometimes the correct adjustment is down! They set my initial pressure off of data to 12.5 psi and my AHI numbers were around 8 to 10. I lowered my pressure to 10 psi and my AHI numbers reduced to around 5. Then I further reduced it to 9 psi and my AHI numbers now bounce between 1 and 2...

[@RespShop]

I am happy to hear your AHI has decreased. Please share that information with your physician and Respshop wishes you the best of luck with your cpap therapy.

Glad i foudn this knfor j have this same bipap but no longer use it i have a resmed air curve 10 now and my dad needs. Cpap machine and i set it up for him to use and he didnt need to vuy a new one

[@RespShop]

Just ensure the BIPAP is safe to use due to the recall. Also we recommend a Doctor to initially set the machine up as they will ensure the therapy pressures are what your dad will need. Remember too much pressure may cause increase levels of CO2 and not enough may cause untreated apneas to occur.

[@compagordo9134]

@@RespShop i have the pressures that he needs already thanks for the advice

[@mrsjcjb]

How do I check the amount of times I stop breathing in my sleep?

[@RespShop]

The AHI advises how many apneas were left untreated while using your CPAP device. There is no way to know how many events you have had in total while using a CPAP. You would need to do a PSG or a home sleep study for that info. Please feel free to call us at 866 936 3754 if you have any questions and don't forget to Like and Subscribe for more CPAP content

[@saintsfan7991]

Can my doctor tell remotely if I have changed the settings? You are awesome btw!

[@RespShop]

Yes, the Dr will be notified of any pressure changes by looking at your data. Thank you for your kinds words. Please don't forget to Like and Subscribe for more CPAP content.

Good vid, thumbs up My wife’s machine used to display 6.0 when she started it but now every time she turns it on now it’s at 8.5. Could you explain how to change it back. Thanks

[@RespShop]

You would need to change her Min pressure to 6.0. The video shows you how to access your clinical settings and change that. Feel free to rewatch the video or give our medical team a call.

Do you know if there is a way to change the breathing rate? It seems when I exhale there is like a 2-3 (sometimes) longer delay to when the machine forces air into the tube. That delay is causing me to still have apnea events (i stop breathing) Shouldn't it breathe with me and not against my timing ? Does that make sense? I have severe apnea ( around 75) so I'm basically having an event every time I exhale and if the machine waits a few seconds it's basically not helping.. thanks!

[@respshopwei2118]

Hi there, Thank you for reaching out to Respshop! Feel free to call our Respiratory Therapist 866-936-3754

[@RespShop]

My suggestion would be to speak to your Dr and see if the Aflex is on and if so have them turn it off. Alfex is a comfort feature where the pressure is dropped on exhale.

[@Cat-nap-j7j]

I tried this method before, and it did work. But as i intent the exact same steps to get into the pressure change option, it dsnt open. Do they control or block one from getting into that feature?

[@RespShop]

No, this should work for you to access the clinical menu. If you are still having issues please contact us at 1-866-936-3754. Thank you

hi Jason I just started with the Respironics dreamstation and i use bipap and the pressure drops suddenly a little before I complete inhalation witch is annoying and does my problem have to do with FLEX level? thank you.

[@RespShop]

That is correct, you will want to turn that feature off so that you do not have a pressure drop when exhaling. Speak to your provider who has set the unit up for you. Please feel free to call us at 866 936 3754 if you have any questions and don't forget to Like and Subscribe for more CPAP content.

[@florvanegas8881]

Question since I am new to this. If I feel that I can’t get it to breath do I need to lower the pressure? I feel I need to open my mouth to be able to breathe. TY

[@RespShop]

It sounds like you feel like you're not getting enough air from the machine. If this is the case then you will likely benefit from a higher pressure. If you use ramp, you can increase your ramp starting pressure (the default is 4, which can be low for some). If you don't use ramp, you may need to increase your min CPAP pressure (check your settings to see if you're on auto CPAP mode. If yes, you'll have a min and max pressure set on your machine). If you want to increase your min CPAP pressure, please talk to your doctor first!

[@michaelraytyler9678]

Hi there. Thanks for sharing. I need more pressure. How do I change the ramp time? It has a lock icon on the screen. It is set to 4, which is half what I need. Will it let me adjust it with the lock on the screen? Is there a way to get around this set setting? Thanks.

[@RespShop]

Hello Michael, you may need to contact your provider to see if the clinical setting as been locked. Thank you for watching!
