ResScan 3.13 detailed graph question

Post by GrayGhost » Wed Mar 16, 2011 9:09 am

I am new to this software. I have figured out a lot by trial and error but I am wondering when looking at the events in the detailed graph section. I see that I have an obstructive event. My question is what is the number above the flag?

New to this as well but I believe that is the number of seconds the event took place.

dlibert is right. The number on the flag is how long the OA (or CA or UA (apnea of unknown type) lasts. By the way, the UAs are nothing but apneas where the machine's clear airway apnea detection algorithm could not determine with enough reliability whether the apnea was an OA or a CA.

The blue squares are hypopneas and for some reason, ResMed chose to NOT report how long the hypopneas last.
