I finally got my issue corrected!!!! Have a question.

Post by dudley_doright » Thu Feb 28, 2008 6:03 am

I have been using cpap for a year and I got my follow up sleep over. I was told that I am getting 90% leak when I turned my head to the side. I got myself a pappillow and it works like magic. NO leak anymore.
However, I got a question regarding the data. Is these data OK: OA=2.4 H=1.4 and VS=3.3 AHI=3.8. These are the readings that I got from last night. Respironics Pro set at 8cm and 4 for humidity.
What do you guys think?

Any AHI under 5.0 is considered normal. The snores may not be snores, it could be the hose rubbing on the bed. The numbers look good.
