Need help interpreting sleepyhead graphs please

Post by stillsleepdeprived » Wed Sep 05, 2012 8:13 pm

I just imported data from my Res Scan SD card into Sleepyhead 9.1. Please help me understand clear airway events and duration of apneas. Any other additonal information is greatly appreciated. Events from this night: 32 clear airway, 3 hypopneas, and 7 obstructive. THANK YOU!

My interpretation: you're having too many events at pressures of 4-5cm, you need to set your minimum higher, at least 6.

I'd also consider bumping the top number to 12.

You are having centrals, which is something to watch out for with increasing pressure. However, your centrals (and obstructives) seem to be happening at the lower pressures so I think higher would help.
