Questions about Sleephead

Post by LisaSch » Wed Sep 18, 2013 10:02 pm

I am looking at my report with my new machine and wondered what oximetry was. I have the good machine now and assumed I could see it all. Now that I have the data, I have no idea what I am looking for in these graphs. Looks like my events, while low are all over the place every day. Not sure how to upload a picture. What are Hypopneas? Is the brain type event the CA? That is when your airway is clear but you have an apnea? I have a few of those most nights. Wish the picture upload was not dark ages here....Most of the time My AHI is 1 or less, always under 5.

I tried to export and print but those functions do not seem to work on my Windows 7 computer. The Export button is still gray after I select my options.

Have a look at Pugsy's SleepyHead tutorial - there is also a link in there to a glossary of terms.
