Which Parts of my Sleep Study Should I Scan & Upload?

Hi, all.

I got a copy of my most recent sleep study report yesterday. I'd like to scan and upload to Photobucket so I can get your input on the results. Which parts of the report are of use?

There are three pages of summary notes, two pages of the titration report (with pie chart and listings like Sleep Summary, Sleep Stage Summary, AHI, Arousals, PLM Summary, SaO2 Summary and SaO2 Breakdown), and then there's a one-page bar graph showing SpO2, Heart, Stage, BPOS, Treatment and Events.

Once I know what you guys want to see, I'll start scanning and uploading the pertinent pages. I'll let you know when that's done and look forward to your opinions/advice. TIA

Upload whatever you'd like comments on, if you have questions you think anyone in the forum can help with. But be sure to mask out any personal info for your sake. And some mask out lab/center identification info as a courtesy to the lab/center.

Okay, I've scanned and uploaded the Titration Reports and the Bar Graphs from my two most recent sleep studies. I guess I just want to know what your impressions are, as seasoned xPAP users and people who know what these stats mean. It would be nice to know whether experienced users see things the same way my doctor does. Since I've never had a data-capable machine, I have nothing to go by, other than what his office tells me.

The study done in November (after which my pressure was lowered from 12 to 10) is here:

And the most recent one of 3-23-09 (after which my pressure was increased from 10 to 14), is here:

I hope this works well. I've never used photobucket before. If I screwed something up and you experience a problem, please let me know and I'll see if I can't fix it. TIA

I'm no help to you, I looked at your sleep study, I didn't understand any of it, I compared it with
mine, good luck with your therapy.

Thanks, anyway. I wish I had more confidence in my sleep doc...
