Understanding ResScan report

Post by cm6961 » Sat Jul 09, 2011 8:18 am

I'm using a VPAP S9 ST machine w/a Quattro FX mask. My settings are: Expiration pressure 5, Inspiration pressure 15 and a Backup Breath rate of 10. I have been on VPAP for 21 days. My readings for the past 21 days are: Apnea Index: 0.9, Hypopnea index: 2.3, AHI: 3.2
Yesterday the doctor changed my Inspiration pressure to 12.
My question is what do these reading tell me, what should I be looking for? My ResScan report is 7 pages with graphs and charts. Are there any instructions available to help me understand this report. Thank you.

If you post your graphs here then you could ask questions about them.
