Camping and SpO2

[338Baloo]

Went camping over the weekend and had no way of powering the CPAP. I did take my Oximeter along to see if I could gather some data.
I was camping at 7800 ft so I knew my O2 levels were going to be a bit low. That is pretty easy to see on the chart. What i do not know how to read are the drops and how they relate to AHI. Could I get some help deciphering?
And yes a battery and portable O2 tanks are in my future for the next trip. I slept well but felt achy all day. Oh and my kids probably did not sleep well from all the snoring
I also need to figure out a good backpacking solution. Fall is a heavy backpacking season for me. Adding an extra 15 pounds to my pack does not excite me. I see several threads on camping with CPAP but have not found anything on Supplemental O2. Does anyone have experience with a reasonable solution for O2?

Thanks!

It looks like you had arousals at around 00:20, 01:00, 01:50, a larger one at 02:30, not sure what was going on at 03:50 but there was a couple of O2 drops there, at 04:50 it looks like you rolled over, at 05:20 it looks like you were headed for a deeper stage of sleep and then a desaturation interfered with that progress, at 06:50 it looks like you were waking up and drifting between sleep and wake.

Not the best picture, but far from the worse. I am sure things would look better had you been using your xPAP.

no, you didn't "slept well", you slept like crap, but you were passed out and don't remember. nobody with untreated sleep apnea "sleeps well".

let's just bury that misconception now.
