Re: Cough & False Hypopneas

Google enough and you'll find the precise time periods Resmed's algorithms use in their calculations. As for this: Are you in agreement that the "cough" (apparently represented by the Inspiration/exhalation at 23:16:52) is real and not an artifact? You say she coughed. The flow shows a deep inhalat...

Re: Cough & False Hypopneas

Thanks for the article, I'll work on digesting it over night. Although one caution I see is that the article was written in 2015, and I've no idea if the Airsense 11 used the S-10 algorithms. (but for sake of discussion lets say that S-10 algorithm is employed in the Airsense 11) Are you in agreemen...

Re: Cough & False Hypopneas

Granny, apparently you do NOT know her sleep Dr. In setting up her appointment he asked US to bring OSCAR reports and any questions we have.

I'm simply trying to get the sense of the cpaptalk community if it's reasonable to follow-up on these hypopneas if they are clinically valid.

The message just doesn't get through your thick school. :lol:
OK, granny, since Pugsy is not responding, can YOU tell me where she told me not to post?
Or what has made her so pissed off at me?

Re: Cough

OH, forgot to add that her recording oximeter just hangs in all night in the 93-95 range.

Re: Cough

In the snippet you posted, we see a larger-than-usual inhalation, then a sharp-ish and deep-ish exhalation. Although my own coughs look a little different, this looks plausible to me as a cough. After deeper breathing, it's common to see a pause, which will be flagged as a CA if it lasts 10 seconds...

Re: Locking topics

I posted that plot on the "let's play a game" because it was specifically focused on identifying false-positives, and that was my question in the "cough" thread (identification of a false-positive) , so it seemed to be completely appropriate. Will you please identify where you asked/told me not to p...

Re: Cough

Last night she had approximately 35 of these solitary coughs (based on the flow rate shape) that were followed by a marked hypopnea.
Her AHI was 4.0 and her HI was 4.0

OT:::Locking topics

Had to open a new topic to address this situation: Pugsy said (in another now locked topic) "I am going to lock this thread because I already asked you not to post in my thread and you still want to ignore my request." The problem is that I didn't post in that thread, so I don't know what she's talk...

I have also seen false positive hyponeas as well but they are rare.
Pugsy, would this be an example of a false positive hypopnea?
The event that occurred just prior to the hyponea segment was a single cough.

Re: Cough

That was three months ago.

Either you have answer to the question or not, but if you don't, just stifle.

Re: Cough

Is there something that I said that makes you assume that the cough is NOT being treated?

Cough & False Hypopneas

So my wife has had this persistent cough for the past several weeks. She will cough once or twice then not cough again for many minutes, it does not seem to awaken her. Last night I observed her cough (while sleeping) at 11:17. Here is her flow plot from last night at about that time. https://i.imgu...

Re: Possible incorrect Event analysis

I don't know for sure what went wrong with what you did but there was something missing...and I think it was part of the IMG code brackets. Exactly what was wrong, the 5th instruction said: paste the link from step 4 between the img and /img The IMGUR copy link SHOULD NOT be placed between the img ...

If people would just use the preview button before hitting submit they would easily see if they did it right or wrong. Exactly, which is why I wrote sometime ago: Even I can see that didn't work !
