Re: Worried - Severe Desaturation- Mild Apnea

Thank you MMcG for noticing my desaturation was 90% of the night: [quote=MMcG post_id=1403372 time=1642184166 user_id=99235 Just for clarity, she did say between 80-89% for 89% of the sleep time.

What happens if the pressure is too high? I made the EPR setting a full time 3 so I don't feel like I'm blowing ou...

Re: Worried - Severe Desaturation- Mild Apnea

I know this format is not ideal but I somehow deleted the overview screen that you prefer. I will do better next time. And I hope these photos are not too huge. The last photo is my sleep study report from a couple weeks ago, Dec 28th, 2021. Is there anything else I should provide? I really apprecia...

Worried - Severe Desaturation- Mild Apnea

I just got my sleep study results and am new to understanding desaturation problems and very concerned. I am a 63 year old female. For 89% of my sleep time, my SpO2 was 80-89% and it even dipped as low as 78%. Impression: severe arterial O2 desaturation but mild obstructive apnea according to the re...
