Sleepyhead flow limit chart confusion

Post by Cardsfan » Wed Dec 16, 2015 6:05 pm

In sleepyhead the Flow limit chart ranges from 0 to .33 to .67 to 1.00 in severity. What do those numbers mean? Thanks for the help. And what should they be at to be considered well under control?

I have never seen anything from ResMed that really explains very well how bad is bad.
I don't know if the new ResScan Interpretation Guide has anything to shed any light on FL evaluation...have you looked in the guide?

But this below is considered very good flow limitation control...it's pretty boring.
