leak data

[joshuamommie]

I understand most of my data for the most part, but i don't understand the leak data, i didn't think i had leaks last night, i have nasal pillows and i was able to sleep, my pressure is high enough (12) that i usually feel it on my face if i have a leak. Can anyone tell me what this chart is saying, what all the numbers mean, i wish it would just tell me: "This is the time you had a leak, at 2 am there was a leak, it was really bad..."

Thanks in advance for your help

If you look at the detailed graphs they will tell you just how bad it was at 2 AM...The summary graphs here don't really tell us much except that we really need to look at the detailed graphs because it's obvious you are having some significant leaks almost every night and to know just how significant we need to look at the detailed graph.

24 L/min...that red line...is where you want to be below as much of the time as possible. 5 minutes above it isn't the end of the world...50 minutes above it and therapy is likely to be impacted.
Also need to see just how far above 24 L/min it went and how long up there.

Now sometimes that summary graph looks a LOT worse than it really was because of maybe 2 or 3 short lived leaks for whatever reason..the 95% leak numbers sometimes look worse than it really is too.

We need to evaluate the detailed leak graphs to see for sure if you need to worry or not.
How about showing last night's detailed leak graph?

If you click on "detailed reports" in ResScan and you don't have any detailed data then I bet you didn't change the download to include "all available data". The default for the downloads is summary data only.
Did you see the tutorial? It's explained in there.

Take your SD card and do another download but pay special attention to what the download choices are and change it to "all data" and make sure you tell it to include all the detailed data and it will drop down your choices and you need to pick the one that says "this takes up a lot of space on your hard drive"...make this the default download (lower left I think) and then you won't have to do the extra step each time.
Remember ResScan is really for doctors and DMEs and they will have hundreds of patients and 99% of the time they never look at the detailed data and they don't want the detailed data from hundreds of patients clogging up their hard drives when they don't use it.

Here's an old thread of mine where I showed off one of my really ugly leak lines. I think you can easily spot where the leaks were really a problem. I also have a SleepyHead report of the same night for comparison. Have you tried SleepyHead yet? Links are in my signature line for the download as well as the tutorial for installing and understanding what you see.
