I updated original post to use Imgur

The screenshots from last night are shown on the link below.

This is on a Dell XPS laptop with 17" screen.

I'm pleased to test beta.

Re: Central Apnea spike at 9,600 Elevation

The oxygen from the concentrator gets "bled into" your or tube through an adaptor, and what you get when you sleep is pressurized, oxygenated air. You won't be the first, nor the last to have nightly oxygen added to your CPAP (Bi-Level or otherwise) therapy. Ozij, Thanks for the tip. I'm using an o...

Re: Central Apnea spike at 9,600 Elevation

Why not? I'm on a laptop and can make fine Oscar screenshots. Do you have a really low res laptop screen? or one of those with insane resolutions? (if so, the beta that's being tested right now should fix that). I was not complaining about OSCAR, it is AWESOME. I wanted to preface that I broke prot...

Re: Central Apnea spike at 9,600 Elevation

Thank you to each of you for your replies! The oxygen boost is not continuous. The brand is "Boost" and a 10l bottle has 200 one second shots of 95% pure oxygen. It takes the edge off of breathlessness. It does nothing for CA. Other than shortness of breath, I don't have any altitude sickness sympto...

Central Apnea spike at 9,600 Elevation

Hello, My AHI over the last couple of years has been 2-7. I am on vacation at 9,600 elevation and my AHI is 22-40. Unfortunately, I am on a laptop and OSCAR does not display nicely. Due to this, I am not able to follow protocol on screenshots. I've had to make individual shots. I can sleep through i...

Re: Newbie request for review of graphs

@raisedfist @okie - Thank you! I gulp air on higher pressures. I will increase the pressure over a few days.

@pugsy - Thank you Yes, usually wake 2-3 times per night. Watched the video, I think about half of the CA's are "junk".

Does a ps = 0 effectively make it a cpap instead of bipap?

Newbie request for review of graphs

Hello! New to cpaptalk.com. I've used a BIPAP for about 2 years. I don't feel like I sleep well. Generally I wake up and feel like I've been breathing through a straw. I prefer to go to sleep on my back. When I sleep on my back the AHI range is 4-6 where on my side is 2-4. The CA's are always at lea...
