Some funny posts here in the zombie post...

Pugsy, as an Airsense 10 user the lack of hypopnea timing always irked me. In looking at the flow rates, is it possible to get an idea of how long the hypopneas last? That's is what I try to do when I am curious, although I am by no means anything other than a novice on reading OSCAR.

Thanks.

You can get an idea but cannot reconstruct exactly what the ResMed machine thinks are the beginning and ending times.

Zoom into the Flow Graph around the event so that you can see the details of the airflow clearly. Now, hold down the shift key and drag from where the breath magnitude becomes low until when it returns to normal. That will display the elapsed seconds of the area you pulled your mouse through.

Papillion, NE?
Are you USAF, or a family member?
If so, thank you for your service.

Katerific, the OP hasn't been around since September 2020. Joshua_CPAP necro-bumped a year old, no longer relevant post to scrutinize something he doesn't know anything about.
Dang it; I think that re-animating zombies should be a capital crime.
Joshua, turn yourself in--immediately.
Maybe we will be lenient . . .
Maybe.

Great tip! I have been doing it in my head.
