Re: interpreting oximeter results
Just a side note, was wondering if you were having any difficulty keeping the finger clamp on during the night and if so what attempts have you tried to resolve it? The model I have has a probe that fits on the end of your finger with a wire that leads back to the main unit, which is worn on the wr...

Re: interpreting oximeter results
Just looking thru what appears to be 3 nights of SpO2 data ... Yes, I just picked three nights' reports to share---I have 8 so far and want to build up a decent set of data for my sleep doc to see. You are right that my pulse actually drops down even below 40 on some nights---it's in the mid-50s as...

Re: OXIMETERS
I recently got the CMS 50F from Southeastern Medical Supply. I'm pretty happy with it so far. This is another thread that discusses this model:

Re: interpreting oximeter results
I would wonder about UARS maybe? I didn't think it was good for the PR to spend much time at all under 60. Isnt' bradycardia a PR under 60? Or is that a daytime, awake PR and lower is okay for sleeping? If so how much lower for sleeping is okay? Thanks for your reply---I hadn't heard of UARS before...

interpreting oximeter results
I had a sleep study done in 2006 and was diagnosed with borderline sleep apnea (can't remember the exact results, but I think I was having something around 6 or so events per hour). My doctor at that time didn't seem to think it was worth treating, so I didn't move forward with CPAP, etc. Since then...
