Was Yousuf trying to ask if it would show up on the report as a RERA when actually you are only waking up enough to change positions?

Yeah, pretty much, I don't know what anyone else is interpreting this as?

I asked if you could be waking up when you are changing positions? You said yes, Pugsy said no.

No, Pugsy did not say that. Good-bye. Foe list.

Oh I see, so this is one of those kinds of boards, is it? Lots of drama and cliques.

Why? When a person is changing positions in bed, they are awake. They may not be aware of it, but they are awake. Are you sincere with all the questions? Or just being aggravating? Then you are agreeing with what I said? I asked if you could be waking up when you are changing positions? You said ye...

Could a RERA happen if you are tossing and turning at night? Adjusting your sleep position, I mean. Perhaps you need to wake briefly to change your position?

No.

Why?

How do you know you're in REM sleep? The 55 per hour AHI was from an in lab diagnostic sleep study and the tech knew exactly when I was in REM. Easy to spot when wired up with EEG leads. Oh okay, it's from the sleep study, I thought you could read something from the machine readouts or something.

Any awakening/arousal can mess will all the sleep stages and potentially make us have to start all over with the sleep stages. My OSA is 5 times worse in REM (roughly one event per minute in REM) and I simply wasn't getting much REM. Would get kicked out of REM very often. How do you know you're in...

Resmed's mask settings relate directly to the calculated volume of each mask. Respironics has a sytem of "mask resistance" numbers that may or may not have a functional basis at all, as it seems to be more a marketing ploy to discourage the use of competitors' masks. Just my opinion--but I could be...

Adding to Pugsy's explanation; our machine's don't know absolutely that we have woken up. It is flagging a breathing pattern consistent with an arousal, but without EEG, it doesn't know for sure. That makes some sense. That may be why Philips doesn't bother counting it in its standard stats, as it ...

Ahhhh....you are assuming that you remember all arousals/awakenings which is an incorrect assumption. We only remember awakenings when we are awake long enough to form a memory. Arousals/awakenings that are brief....we don't remember them. Just because we don't remember them doesn't mean they didn'...

So what percentage of a blockage is a RERA? There is no % of blockage for RERA. It is not a category of apnea event. http://sleepyhead.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Glossary Okay, so according to this definition: "Respiratory Event Related Arousal... a sequence of breaths characterized by increasi...

He has Oscar, that's why we're asking. Oscar doesn't report leak in any kind of percentage, Oscar reports liters/minute. So what you said was misleading. But to disregard everything you asked, and only focus on the title of the post, the answer is YES. Philips Respironics (and many other machines) ...

But under Resmed, he often sees up to 25% reported mask leaks per night. Your friend doesn't know what is going on. The machine reports excess leak, and if you're just looking at the front display, or the app, then all your seeing is how much of the night there's *excess* leak, more than the machin...

So you guys want to see a screencap, is that what you're saying?

A friend was using the Philips Dreamstation machine, but after the recall fiasco, he obtained a new machine from ResMed. Everything seems similar between the two machines, except for one thing: leakage reporting. Under Dreamstation, he was hardly getting any leaks, usually showing 100% mask fit ever...
