Hello to all.
Is it possible to interpret sleep stage data from the various OSCAR results ?
I'mif it's possible to understand If and When we're getting into REM, DEEP or LIGHT sleep during the night....

Any thoughts ?

Thanks, in advance.

Got it.
Pugsy, You know your stuff - Thanks again.

Thanks again. Now for todays questions if you would, please. I always see the frequency of my CA's increase as I begin to awaken from a night "sleep"...wishful thinking anyway !! Is there a way, in OSCAR, to recalculate AHI for only a portion of the night's data ? In the attached example, Can I reca...

Got it- Thanks again. When I review OSCAR data, I see a correlation between # and frequency of CA events and times of increased leak rates. Does this make sense and if so, what's the theory ? I assume, during periods of higher leak rates the CPAP capabilities are compromised and the therapy is losin...

Quick update. As suggested, I increased the Min pressure up to 6 the last few nights (have not tried a collar yet) and AHI's dropped to 4.9 which means my total # AHI's are now 50% reduced from my baseline. Oddly, I see better results with EPR set to ON.....it's early now but I feel rested this morn...

Excellent, Thanks again for the information and education.

I'll try the EPR setting "off" tonight.

Enjoy your day.

Thanks for your response Miss Emerita and Pugsy. These are interesting inputs. Miss Emerita - I sleep on both my back and right side. Now that the CPAP therapy has stopped my snoring (yeah!), I find sleeping on my back to be a much most pleasant position and I'm no longer getting the elbow to the ri...

Hello. I increased the min pressure to 6 and saw a significant increase in AHI to 10+. As you stated most events are Clear Airways events, which I believe the machine and higher pressure won't cure. I believe the # of combined OA+UA+H+RERA events all look somewhat respectable. If I can get the CA ev...

Edit to original post. Thanks Pugsy, updated file attached. Feeling a bit more rested/awake/alert but only marginally. Still awakening throughout the night-no improvement in this area yet. I'll adjust the min. pressure you stated. Anything else jump out at you as areas for concern/ investigation ? T...
