Re: Flow Limit Scoring in ResScan
I see now - thanks for the graphs. I was diagnosed with UARS, and while I feel better on CPAP, it's not much of an improvement. I wonder if I can find more improvement still. Has anyone with a ResMed machine used Flow Limit as an indicator to adjust their pressure? And if so, do you notice a subject...

Re: Flow Limit Scoring in ResScan
Thanks for that information! If I understand correctly, the flow limitation graph in SleepyHead does not accurately represent the data from a ResMed machine?

Re: ResMed vs. Respironics Question
If I couldn't see the AHI I would chose the ResMed machine - I find it's EPR much more comfortable than the Respironics Flex system. In fact I experience mild aerophagia with the Respironics machine. Because I was diagnosed with UARS I was initially going to chose the Respironics machine because it ...

Re: ResMed vs. Respironics Question
Thanks for that information Pugsy - that's really helpful. What I take away from your description is that my scores could be an artifact of the difference between the measures that each machine uses. I just happen to have a number of breathing events that fall into this borderline.

Re: ResMed vs. Respironics Question
My mistake - i've got the 60 series machine, with full data. I can't see a pattern to the centrals - they seems spread out evenly throughout the night, or at least fairly evenly spread out over a part of the night (a few of hours). I'm not conscious of waking up or stirring more often. The odd thing...

Flow Limit Scoring in ResScan
I've been following some discussions about how ResMed scores flow limits in ResScan and SleepyHead. I'm still trying to make sense of the flow limit graph. When the data shows up in SleepHead it is presented on a scale of 0-1. In ResScan, from what I've seen, it's scored on a scale that includes thr...

ResMed vs. Respironics Question
Hi all, I'm a new user (about three months), about to settle on a machine, and I have a question about some odd results I'm having. I was using an S9 elite CPAP machine and getting almost exclusively centrals (AHI ~3 - 6 over a two week period). This is odd, because for the first two and half months...
