ResMed MyAir Beginners Guide - Score 100 Points!

[@res340]

I just used my cpap for the second time. The apneas were scored at 5 and 7 times per hour. Much better than 30 per hour with at home test. I’m on 6 hours sleep today and don’t feel tired and sleepy while driving. I cross my fingers this improvement lasts and this can be a major game changer.

[@randibrewster8324]

I just want to say thank you I just got my resmed 10 today first-time CPAP user. I've been binging your videos and feel really informed now thanks to you.

[@giraffeNana2023]

I wish there was a "pause" feature for when we feel the "call of nature" during the night so it doesn't count against us. Sometimes I don't take my mask off, I just put my finger around the mouthpiece to slightly readjust it so it doesn't leak, but get a "mask off".( Yes, I'm one of "those" people who want the 💯, and ⭐ sticker on my paper 😂) Enjoyed your singing. Have a great day/night (it's 1:50A.M., CST, and I woke up, then looked up what to do if I felt " the call of nature", but don't want to lose too many points, and found you)🤗❤️🙏🏻

[@paisleyjane9606]

Sometimes it's just necessary to take off the mask to get a good seal, or so it seems (or get a drink to relieve the dry mouth it caused). This means I ignore the mask off/on part of the score. A good score is still possible!

[@Cosmicblast77]

I am so thankful for your help. The resmed user guide explains very little and says nothing about "events". I looked at my resmed machine and it showed 27.1 events last night.

[@ginadilworth2889]

I don't think it's not fair that you lose points for taking the mask off to use the bathroom I use the bathroom 2x a night (TMI) but I do. I got my first 99 today I am about 3 weeks in it been a struggle but I now have a heated tube and a smaller mask then what I started out with. Today I feel fantastic and have energy and that's a new thing for me . I really like your videos and even your singing

I have used a CPAP machine since 2008. I have had my AirSense 10 machine since 2016. I really liked using the MyAir app as it was a simple easy way to track my therapy. I used MyAir from the time I received my machine. About 3 months ago the networks shut down the CDMA network (3G and lower) to make more room for the 5G networks. Since then my machine has not been able to connect and upload the data. I now use OSCAR (another open source CPAP utility) to track my sleep data.

[@chrisrestifo7010]

I am a first time CPAP user. The AirSense 11 is my first machine. I use the MyAir app. The score that is of most importance to me personally is the "episodes per hour" ! I was diagnosed at a whopping 86 apneas per hour!!!! I am currently scoring 1.2- 2.7, which as far as I'm concerned, outstanding!!! My overall score is consistently 85-95, with an occasional 100. I don't normally sleep more than 7 hours per night except on the weekends. So, not too concerned about the " 100"!

[@CPAPReviews]

Here’s one that will interest you mate - AHI is a scam. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnTUqpZqlryhq80

[@camipockets]

I figured out something last night that might be kinda specific, but Resmed Air10 for her: I was having trouble with the pressure getting stuck too high, so I was turning it off, and then back on to reset the pressure, but that counts as a mask off event. I figured out, if you leave it on, but go into "my options" and run the mask fit, it will push the pressure up, but then as soon as you and the mask fit, the pressure falls back down to your minimum - without counting as a mask off event! 😅 I really appreciate finding this page and hope someone else is helped "gaming the system" with this nuance.❤

[@ralphmills7322]

Been a CPAP user for almost 10 years now. Last year I qualified for Medicare so I requested a more modern machine (my old machine used obsolete SmartCard for data recording, So for a few years I had to bring the whole machine to the Doctors office to read the data off the screen to comply for my annual DMV medical review!) I have been using the myAir app, when it is not 100 I lose all 20 points for mask leaks. I requested my supplier to change my F20 AirFit silicone cushion to the F20 AirTouch memory foam cushion for next month. If it was not for the app I would have just gone along with a leaky mask seal only re-adjusting the mask when it got loud enough to wake me.

I use all three reporting programs. MyAir, SleepHQ, and OSCAR - because I didn't go with the machine my dr ordered (to expensive) I purchased my own and saved a lot of $$$, My dr doesn't automatedly get the My Air data. I set data from all 3 programs to my dr, but she only wants the MyAir, probably because she is only looking for events. Anyway I found by turning off auto and putting my Resmed 10 auto in cpap mode at 8 or 9, I get a much higher score with fewer events.

After watching you a few times now and I realise now myAir is not that good. It tells me if I have a very bad mask leak and adjust it,that fair enough. I know if my apnea’s kept going over say 5 or more I would contact my clinic and know it needs to be attended too. And yes going to the bathroom is a bit silly especially if I supposedly slept 8 hrs anyway. If definitely needs to give much better information. I at times get 00 apnea’s I hope that is truely correct but mostly I get well below 5. Here I am thinking I’m doing great. 😮

Good video. Unfortunately, ResMed decided to ignore patients and the current machines have neither - a WiFi nor a GSM module. I bought my AirSense 10 last week. The price is the same as other devices. But a big sticker and information that there is no communication with anything and only SD card is left. So the patient cannot even read the results from the device...

[@sirenmuscle]

Those are some high mask leak rates... there should be no leaks to be effective. Also the events per hour are also high. The point is to have no events. If you are having high events per hour then the cpap is not working properly and something needs to be addressed. ( am I correct?)

[@bobhaldor5896]

Everyone has some events in sleep but it is generally accepted that having less than 5 events per hour is considered healthy. It is important to remember that the machine is guessing and will likely overestimate AHI. The leak score is worth 20 points probably because it is so important, every other factor of the therapy relies on having low leak. However, again the machine is guessing. Different masks have different levels of intentional leak. If your mask is a different brand from the machine it is even more likely to get this wrong. Higher pressures as well cause more leak. A leak below 15 L/min is acceptable. But you're correct, leak is very important.

[@PaulLKush]

Hello Nicko, from Houston, TX. I have been using CPAP therapy for over 5 years and recently replaced my Resmed 10 with the Resmed 11 Airsense. My question concerns the proper settings and procedures to insure I get credit for all cumulative hours slept during the night when I have to get up and go to the restroom, etc? I am using most of the default settings, and have attempted literally turning on and off the unit when I wake up and return to therapy. I sleep typically from 9:00 pm till 10 am the next day. On most uninterrupted evenings I will get a 1000 score. I like the auto sense on and off feature but it does not seem to help when I change either of the on or off settings or totally turn them off manually powering on and off with the black button on the top of the machine. (seems to counter-intuitive to have the sense feature and have to do this) Thanks for your very thorough explanations of the best therapy

[@bobhaldor5896]

Little correction (3:20). The AHI, which stands for Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index, is the sum of both apnoeas and hypopnoeas that are recorded per hour during sleep. Both relate to a reduction in flow over a 10 second period. An apnoea refers to a complete cessation of flow (>90%) while a hypopnoea is like you said, a 30% decease in airflow. A key difference however between the pump reported AHI and the one you got on your diagnostic sleep study is that a hypopnoea only counts if it precedes a cortical arousal (a mini wakeup from sleep recorded from your brainwaves) or a 3% reduction in oxygen saturation (recorded from the pulse oximeter on the finger). The pump can't tell these things and so scores liberally. Another interesting point is that the pumps really suck at recording events when the leak is high! Thanks

[@CPAPReviews]

G’day bob. Little correction on your correction. With Resmed devices event scoring, hypopnea is >50% reduction, apnea >75% . All the best mate

[@bobhaldor5896]

@@CPAPReviews I wonder if we could trick different machines into analysing the same data. Imagine on the AirSense you recorded an AHI of say 4.1. Then you get a dreamstation and your AHI drops to 2. You might be like wow this new pumps great, when its actually due to differences in how the devices score events not a benefit in your therapy.

[@CPAPReviews]

Hey bob, here's a video i think will interest you - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnTUqpZqlryhq80 . I think they choose >50% for the hypopnes so the results look better. It would be interesting to see all the cpap users AHI numbers changed if they lowered the threshold of hypopnea to 30%. The truth is even the AASM definitions are BS. It shouldn't matter if it's 10 seconds or 9 seconds or 30% or 29%. Ultimately what matters is how is the gas exchange? Are 02 levels dropping etc. To many acedemics i think. Cheers mate. Nicko

[@DD-wd7ku]

As Nick explained, MyAir is really a motivational tool to encourage continued use of your therapy. The main thing really is to keep your events score high and the other categories help to show any contribution factors to a low events score. If your are regularly scoring in the 90s but not losing anything in your events category, then you are doing well. Striving for 100 everytime can be uneccesarily stressful.

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi James, not much you can do about that unfortunately as the ResMed will always count the CA in the event score. It would be cool if you could customise the score to suit your needs! Cheers

[@RebelRobot01]

Nick, Thanks for the video. I started CPAP Therapy for the first time in late April with an Airsense 11 and I use an Airtouch N20 Nasal Mask. It is an autoset, but I have been prescribed a fixed pressure, so it is in CPAP mode. A couple of questions on your video: 1) Does having a high leak rate throw off how accurate the AHI number in MyAir is? In other words, if there is not a sufficient seal, is the machine less able to accurately measure the resistance to the pressure and thus detect an obstruction? 2) Does Resmed's statement that you read from concerning leaks and nasal masks mean that a mouth leak can lessen the score for leaks in MyAir, or does it mean that there can be additional leaks from mouth breathing that won't be detected and incorporated into the MyAir score? In other words, does the L/min number given for the night in MyAir only reflect leak from the mask, or does it also reflect leaks from mouth breathing? I am particularly concerned about this because I have been unhappy with my leak scores for the past month or so. I had thought it has to do with a particular cushion I was using, but the problems have seem to have continued since I replaced the cushion. For example, last night I had a 0/20 for mask seal, with a leak of 75/ml. I would like to know if this is a mouth leak issue or has to do with how I have been wearing my mask. Thanks in advance for your attention to my question, and the work you do on this channel.

[@CPAPReviews]

G'day John, 1. Yes it does, high leak makes it harder for the cpap to accurately flag events so it will often flag false events and also miss a lot of flags. 2. Mouth leak adds to the L/min which will in turn reduce your score for the mask seal category. Since you have an Air11 you can use www.sleephq.com to check your leak rate changes over the night (instead of just getting one number at the end. You might need to get an SD card and put it in your device and then use it for a few nights with the SD card in it before uploading to sleephq

How does the cpap detect an apnea event? Is it the change in air pressure the machine detects? Could it be a false event?

[@jcepri]

I just started with CPAP and I'm already very discouraged. I linked this app and the data it shows is nowhere near what's reported on the machine. Last night, it says I used it for just over 2 hours, but I know I used it all night. The machine says I used it for 8 hours, which seeks much more accurate. Virtually all of the scores in MyAir don't match what the machine says.

[@techshabby0001]

It registered me at 4 hours last night, which is def wrong. One thing that might help you is that the data finishes uploading at noon, your time. It helped me to know that bc I kept looking at it too early. And that's why I wait until after 12 noon to upload to sleephq so I get the whole picture. Sleephq is the best. There are a lot of graphs I don't yet know how to interpret but I'm learning. It does take the data files straight from the machine though, so if your machine hasn't completely compiled the data yet (not exactly sure how it works..cloud?) or is glitching, those are the numbers SHQ will use. (Don't take this as gospel. I am only 1 month in.)

I think the ‘Mask off’ is ridiculous, especially counting when one takes it off when done sleeping and starting their day.

I never saw any data before getting the AirSense 11 , only when visiting the sleep doctor did I ever see anything. Matter of fact it was at my check month CPAP check up did I see any data or was told how bad my apnea was. Anyone hear anything from Philips on their recall? I’m still waiting .

I have 2 machines an air sense mini and air sense 10. Just recently got the mini. I would rather use it than the regular. It is more comfortable. However, it I use the mini, the regular machine shows me as deficient. If I use the regular the mini shows me deficient. The mini is more comfortable and I get better seal results. What should I do?

[@sarsorh]

How many hours should we use it while sleeping ? Is 9 to 10 hours a lot ? cuz I wake up In the meddle then go back to sleep

[@donmulder8061]

Last night was night #2 with my new AirSense 11 (I've used another brand for 8 years prior to this so I am new to the Resmed MyAir app). The first night I woke up with an accurate MyAir Score of 87 showing usage hours that reflected my actual sleep/bed time. Last night however, I went to bed at 2 AM and woke up around 9AM. Yet my myAir score was only 53 due to usage hours being only 2:18. Why would my usage hours be so low when I really did sleep through the night, had only one mask off event when I went to the bathroom that MyAir recorded, a good mask seal, and 3 events per hour. I wore it all night long except when I went to the bathroom at 4AM. When I woke up I touched the screen on the front of the machine and it said it was running at 11.4 CM H2O pressure and even showed the current run time on the machine screen (I think it was 6:44 or something). What am I missing?

[@techshabby0001]

The complete data set doesn't post until noon, your time zone. I force myself to wait until like 1pm to check it.

[@lindalamb7512]

So if we have to take mask off in middle of night for bathroom, do we turn unit off and the back when we’re back or just leave it running?

Had a cpap for 5 years with on-screen daily sleep report. New machine requires sign-in to app to view daily report. What a farce.

[@cocoprettyproducts133]

Hi can I ask you a question my c pap broke I just recently got IA new one back it looks like it recently updated the app and now for 3 days my score report for usage has not changed

[@hcfirefighter82]

I’ve been using my machine for about a month now and within the past week I’ve been coughing up a lot of phlegm, mostly in the morning. Is this normal? I wear a full face mask and unfortunately I’m a smoker if that helps. Thanks!

@@hcfirefighter82 Perhaps try a fixed humidification and set it to a higher value. That way you can be certain about what the machine is doing. Is this a dreamstation? A possible issue that can arise with increasing humidification is "rainout". The moisture condenses like on your car's windshield. If that happens try wrapping bedding around the tubing.

Hey Nick. I got a fixed machine a few months ago and was prescribed a 13.0 pressure using a face mask (thought there was heaps of leaks). My ribs were starting to hurt abit from the big breaths i was taking and I started getting really dizzy/ felt an intense pressure between my ears. I found a video on youtube showing how to change the settings and I trialled lower pressures for myself. I changed to a nasal mask and I went down as low as 4.0 pressure and am getting awesome AHI's under 1.0. How is this possible? I'm looking to get a o2 ring and sign up on the sleepHq to see if i can get more of an insight into what's going on.

Do you turn machine off when going to bathroom or just detach the hose?

[@baklash1762]

@@dondgc2298auto start/auto stop feature? Is this a feature on the Airsense 11? I just got the 10 and it has manual start/stop. When I get up at night I turn it off and then back on again when I get back to bed.

[@techshabby0001]

I turn mine off as much as I want or need, to take a pill, get a drink, go to bathroom. I just hit the off button. Even though I have the auto stop feature on my airsense11 enabled, if I take off my mask it takes forever to stop and it is loudly blowing out air. I have to be respectful so I just turn it off manually.

[@michaellee695]

Why is the number of events per hour included in my score. I don’t control the number of events per hour. If I did I wouldn’t need the CPAP machine. Shouldn’t the number of events per hour be used to score how well the CPAP machine is working? Maybe a score that RESMED needs to justify? Of course, RESMED makes the machines and the software to run them and interpret the data. It’s in RESMED’s own interest to under report events per hour.

[@michaellee695]

I have control over the amount of time that I use the machine. I have control over the mask seal. I have control over the number of times I remove my mask. The score should be based soley on usage hours, mask seal and mask on/off. I don't have control over the number of events so don't score me based on criteria that I don't control. Report the events per hour separately and assign a score to Resmed based solely on events per hour. After all, Resmed controls the function of the machine, not me.

I have had my DS1 since 2014 IIRC and I cannot upload any files to the SleepHQ website; the tabs are all grayed over. I tried the upload with the switch in both positions (off & on). Any suggestions? Also the site wouldn't take my CC either for some unknown reason

[@techshabby0001]

You probably figured it out by now but in case anyone has the same question, there is a blue button you have to click that says BEGIN UPLOAD. IT IS below the drag box to the right, which is easy to overlook. It might be a little different on pc (I use iPad).

So only 5 points are based on the actual breathing. Thus, as long as you're using it right, you get 95 points for free.
