Oscar questions for newbie’s

Post by Weld3z » Fri Jul 12, 2024 3:09 am

I spent the last three days trying to learn how to read Oscar charts, this topic is for dummies like myself trying to learn something to improve our lives, especially after reading my latest sleep study O2 71%, with 171 events 141 obstructive, 2 Mix, 0 Central and 28 Hypopneas (If for any reason someone is interested in the full report I will be happy to share) AHI was 82.7


https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/sutzk7p ... ihb85&dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/un0622c ... 8dl4p&dl=0

I was trying to find something with 0 leaks if this helps just as an example.
The only change I made is reduced the Ramp time because 1st 30 minutes was nightmare.

So let's begin..

what exactly we need to keep and hide from the 12 Graphs?
Any one free to ask any questions about Oscar!!

If I'm not wrong, Why I can't breath here? No leaks and everything looks good?
What to look for after the AHI?

That's a misleading click bait subject heading.

You can learn about reading OSCAR from this pro:

You need to ask specific questions about whatever you need some explanation to.
Don't use that dropbox thing for images....images too small to see adequately. About all I could tell about this latest batch of images at dropbox is you got a large leak problem.

viewtopic/t172378/StickyIf-you-want-CPA ... Gquot.html

Don't just post an image and say "what do you think"....ask specific questions if you want specific answers.

Use imgur.com or the forum attachment for images.

You can edit your first post along with the subject line yourself....if you wish.

I linked you to his talks about OSCAR. Please link me to the one that didn't teach you what you want to know.
