For example, in the case of an obstru...

Re: Central Apneas and Respiratory Rate

Oh you think you're the cat's banana. You're just mad 'cause you didn't think of that. BTW, did you ever consider that the straight line of the Tidal Volume would be that even if it did Breath-by-Breath Calculation, it is simply waiting for the next breath? OK then Mr.-Know-It-All, why doesn't the ...

Re: Squishing the belly increases AHI
