[Cpapman11]

Hi Everyone, having a period of mourning after the loss of a dear friend of mine, and a little vacation, I have come back, I missed you guys and girls.

I want to let you all know that i went back to my neurologist, and my sleep doctor, and he gave me the results of my sleep study i requested, I will tell you what my report said on my 1st sleep study.

(Looking at report)...ok, ummm..it says here that:

REM latency from sleep onset was 151.5 minutes, total time in bed was 457 min. with total sleep time was 373.5 minutes.

sleep architecture was 74.5 minutes for 19.9% of REM,132.5 minutes of Stage 1, 166.5 min for 44.6% of N2,and 0 on Stage 3. total arousal time index is 57.3 per hour of sleep....EEK!! :O

total number of respiritory events: 322, REM AHI index is 63.6, I had a total of 147 sleep apneas, 35 mixed apneas, 7 central Apneas, and 133 hypopneas. my sleep oxygen satuation was 88%, 79% being the minimum.

i had a total of 441 PLMS with a 70.8 index of sleep...CONCLUSION.....I have severe Sleep Apnea. (Looks at you all now).

So....ummm...What do you all think?..... !!!!

i had a total of 441 PLMS with a 70.8 index of sleep

When you went back a second night for CPAP titration, what was the PLM index on the titration night?

[Breathe Jimbo]

What was your AHI (as opposed to REM AHI)?

[SleepingUgly]

Welcome back, Jose!

My AHI index before titration was 51.7 per hour.. now I will show you the results of my 2nd sleep test, they are as follows....

Sleep Architecture showed 101.5 min for 26.5% of REM, 51.5 min for 13.4%of stage n1, 230 min for 60.0% of stage n2, and 0.5 min. for 0.1% of stage n3.

Rem sleep latency from sleep onset was 129.5 minutes, sleep efficiency was 87.5%, total time in bed was 438.5 min. with total sleep time of 383.5 min.

Total arousal index was 10.5 per hr of sleep.

sleep oxygen satuation was 94% with a total of 579 plms with an index of 90.6per hr of sleep.

my Cpap pressure was set to 13CM of H2o.

again.....What do you all think??.. !!!!!

[SleepingUgly]

Were the PLMS with arousals or without?

[cindjo717]

Did the sleep lab suggest another titration study? That number still looks high to me... I of course am not the best on this subject maybe someone else can help here... Was your ahi still 10.5?

[Cpapman11]

my report doesnt say anything about PLMS arousals, and yes, my AHI was 10.5 per hr.index

[SleepingUgly]

What was your AHI at 13cm? The overall AHI may be higher than desirable because of time spent at subtherapeutic pressures during the titration.

[Cpapman11]

I dont know, it doesnt say what my AHI was with Cpap..hmmmmm

[SleepingUgly]

I dont know, it doesnt say what my AHI was with Cpap..hmmmmm

I thought you said it was 10.5? But you said your arousal index was 10.5, also. Maybe you need to get a fuller report that hopefully has what your AHI was on the prescribed pressure.

[Cpapman11]

yes, it was 10.5% BEFORE Titration....my report doesnt say what the AHI is AFTER my 2nd sleep test using the cpap at my 13cmH20 setting..:S
