Help with Data

Post by Boodies » Sun Apr 13, 2008 6:47 am

Need help to intepret this data. The big question i have is if the data is valid. Are the leaks under control enough to consider the data useful? I have taped my mouth and the leak rate is about the same either way. Pressure presented here was set from 13 to 15 with Remstar Auto with c-flex, hc 150, and the mirage II nasal pillow mask. I am a side sleeper and I think some of the spikes in leakage is due to shifting of the mask rather than mouth leakage.

Another question i have is why the AHI is shown as 1.0 above, .4 in the graph, and .5 in the tabel for Daily Events per Hour?

Appreciate any help from those more knowledgeable than myself. Thanks in advance.
