Re: Please interpret my flow limitations - UARS is debilitating
My sleep specialist said himself that PSGs aren't programmed to pick up on RERAs and flow limitations accurately. It's something to do with the fact that outdated definitions of hypopneas are used, meaning more subtle oxygen desaturations aren't picked up on. "Not programmed"? He could have (and sh...

Re: Please interpret my flow limitations - UARS is debilitating
And even if you wanted to use Tufik Criteria, AFL was not reported in your studies-- besides even he notes It is characterized by an increase in upper airway resistance and/or flow limitation leading to sleep fragmentation , resulting in daytime sleepiness. again underscoring the concomitant need fo...

Re: Please interpret my flow limitations - UARS is debilitating
considering you haven’t elaborated on why you think I don’t have UARS. Sure, no prob. UARS by definition is a disease (although some clinicians don't even believe it is an entity) that is based on having RERAs, specifically =/>5/hr. Your 4/5/16 study shows RERA Index = 0.2. Your 4/23/23 study shows...

Re: Please interpret my flow limitations - UARS is debilitating
Based on the information provided: 1. Your conclusion that UARS is the cause of your difficulties appears unfounded. Indeed, there isn't any evidence of it at all. 2. Your sleep quality is about 30 times worse than it should be. 3. A sleep log would help to examine overall sleep hygiene (it only tak...

... your help. In order for that to happen, I will need: As previously requested, a description of every OSA-associated surgery you've had; A complete report of every sleep study you've had; A current list of all medications; A 2-week sleep log (AASM has one); The Oscar files; and The broomstick of...

Re: Help analyzing Oscar waveforms
What’s the difference between a “you” breath and a machine “breath”? "You" breathe in a negative pressure system-- diaphragm drops down, air gets sucked in, restrictions to flow (usually) appear as flow limitations, and worsen the more aggressively you try to inhale. The "machine" utilizes a positi...

Load data into SleepHQ. Can't tell much by Oscar screenshots.

Re: One week on CPAP, would appreciate some input regarding my stats
In re: above waveforms, although one can not be really sure if you're asleep, what sleep stage you're in, or what body position, IMO those look like 4 (and perhaps 5) RERAs going to arousal despite 15 cmH2O pressure.
