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."

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...
