Re: Oxygen and AHI events
Thanks, Yes-over tightening warps the mask at some point creating leaks. However having it somewhat loser it starts to leak at the gasket around 12" pressure. I will talk to the vendor when they get in this week to try other masks. My O2 was below 85% in the sleep tests and I am just curious to see ...

Re: Oxygen and AHI events
Thanks for the further information. I have been using the SleepyHead software. And I do see leaks-I am trying to get a handle on whether this is a problem and also whether it leads to false reporting. I keep the full mask on very tight and it seems to have no leaks most of the time that i am aware o...

Re: Oxygen and AHI events
Ok and thanks. I find revealing, the comment "If your data shows breathing events, then you are having events that are not treated by CPAP." This was not entirely clear to me (the documentation with the device is useless) and I was trying to determine exactly what the machine defines as an "event". ...

Oxygen and AHI events
I am presently investigating an oxygen sensor. Recently I see increased AHI events on my log. I am assuming that this should not matter as long as the CPAP addresses the event. However it brings to mind-what is the ultimate test of the results of using a CPAP? Is this to be found in watching the blo...

How Does CPAP detect AHI events
I use an Airsense 10 by ResMed and continue to get AHI events. For the technophiles here I was wondering if any of you know what the system queues on to determine an apnea event and how it qualifies it? Using SleepyHead software I see the expected ramp-up rise at start up but then the system rises a...
