I don't how you could do an inline measurement Get a 22mm inline adapter. They're about a buck (not counting shipping): adapt.jpg as the pressure would be all over the place depending the resistance of ones breathing. Not really. The whole point of "machine responsiveness" is so that doesn't happen...

DIY water manometer. Cost $0.00 Accuracy +/- 0.0000.

But if your point is "That's a LOT!!"...

That's a lot.

...apparently more than 15-30 events like that per hour (I have easily more than that) are considered a SEVERE sleep apnea,

Except we did NOT (sorry on a flight) say they are respiratory events. Right now they're simply HR/PAT events.

... inherently bad sleeper... my ADHD meds ... I don't remember EVER sleeping well. Well will you look at that... BTW do you have "sleep specialists" over there? And I don't mean CPAP factories. There's like 5 dozen sleep disorders and if all your guy knows is Sleep Apnea then you're wasting your d...

I am not sure that this is a start/hypnic jerk, when I looked at few definitions it says that the sound that jolts one up is imaginary/auditory hallucination That particular "start" refers to "exploding head syndrome" (really-- there is such a thing) (and interestingly I have had the privilege (?) ...

CPX will tell you everything you know about exercise tolerance. It'll be slick if you have that available there.

Those spikes are most likely correct. When I sleep with someone in the same room they also confirm that I do not snore constantly, more of heavy breathe/quiet snore and then there is sudden very loud snore sound that gets me jolted up immediately. I can hear this snoring sound while waking up too, ...

I think I still have an app on my phone for it and watch like device itself - would that be any useful in obtaining that file?

No, that's just to run the test. We need the analysis software, which interestingly you can get yourself:

[oximeter report]...all those desaturations.

Now, you might say, "Gee Noc, couldn't that also be just jumping around artifact?" and I certainly couldn't argue that, especially if you look closely, the "desaturations" actually begin by going up.

But we ain't looking at that anyway...

Nocibur

Let me toss out one little tidbit (but don't get tunnel vision and think "AHA! That's it!!).

Severe PLMs can generate a PAT pattern like that:

Note that the zoom-in is looking at just a few minutes.

Nocibur

I have no clue how to read those PAT Amp and BMP graphs, I can see spikes in pulse rate but that's about the limit of my abilities. How do I count those PAT/HR arousals, how many per hour there would be on average from this graph? Again, spikes are probably artifact, but to calculate PAT and HR eve...

Nocibur

so this guy has very few events. And that is a guy with a bunch of respiratory events, as evidenced by all those desaturations. So anyway, IMO your approach should be threefold: Proper assessment of snoring (and again, those spikes are probably artifact, and overall the report doesn't seem to be al...
