Post by So Cali Reese » Sat May 23, 2020 10:03 am

Hello,

Wanted to know if they are within safe range ?

Vt=420ml
MV= 7.6L
RR=17

MY INFO: MALE 54yrs

WEIGHT 260LB

Thanks

We really don't pay much any attention to those numbers, Without an oximeter, you're just guessing about oxygen levels, for the most part, CO2 takes care of itself, the more CO2 in your blood, the higher your RR, and the deeper breaths you take.

I see nothing wrong with those numbers.

Why do you ask?

Are those the median numbers from OSCAR? What do the Daily graphs show? Is your breathing fairly consistent throughout the night ignoring any wake periods?
