Dumb question

Post by Brian2 » Tue Mar 25, 2008 12:02 pm

I have just bought the resmed sofware and have been looking at the results. Most of it seems easy to understand, but i have noticed that if an apnea is indicated it shows a red line with a number on it. What does the number indicate?

i know, the answer is probably staring me in the face.

My wonderful (PB's, not Resmed) software lacks one important piece of data:

Length of time in apnea.

Could that be wagging its tail at you?

Hi Ozij,
I did think that it might be time in apnea but i get numbers ranging from 11 up to 17 so far. i suppose it could be seconds, but it can't be minutes becuase I am still here <g>. I normally get 1 or 2 red flags or markers per night, sometimes none, but got 5 last night, ranging fro 11 to 17 what evers.
