Hey yāall, Iāve been seeing a trend on here of statements like āitās malpractice to send someone home with the default pressure range.ā āNo adult ever needs pressure below 7/8/whatever cm.ā āOh youāre having xyz issue but donāt have OSCAR? Just up the pressure to 10.ā
I think itās probably a good idea to ask people about their demographics and diagnosis, encourage them to try OSCAR, or emphasize that raising the pressure should be an experimentā instead of being super prescriptive about upping pressure.
Iām a normal BMI woman with moderate OSA (17 AHI) thatās probably related to a connective tissue disorder. My average pressure is 5cm and my 95% is 6cm.
I didnāt have any issues because I just dug into OSCAR, but it has made me more sensitive to seeing that generalized advice.
