How do my numbers look?

Post by remstarcpap » Sat Apr 04, 2009 4:37 pm

OA total: 8 events
Hypopneas total: 41
total snores: 20
total time in apnea: 1.8 min. av. apnea duration: 13.5 seconds
AHI:4.6
OAI:0.8
HI:3.9
SI: 1.9

APAP range set 6-10cm
90% APAP:7.2
Avg. APAP: 6.1cm
C-flex :3

Mask leak: 29 LPM average

How does it look?

Not bad! You are under the 5.0 that is supposed to be normal. Did not look up the exaust rate for the Swift but I suspect it is not bad at 29. It is always good to get it a bit lower but looks like you are headed in the right direction. Run a few days and see what you get. Sometimes one day won't give you a very accurate reading. If it does not go down you might try backing off the Cflex to 2 and see if it helps.

Maybe some of the more knowledgeable folks will see something I missed.

Good Luck!!

Jerry

Boy, do I have a lot to learn - not to take away from your question, but how do I get these numbers, and what do they mean? Do I start with my respiratory therapist, or can someone help explain?

Great numbers for the first night, remstarcpap! Keep everything just as it is for a week and see if you continue to improve. 10 hours is fabulous for the first night!


Sorry sleepyprm, you have a plus machine. It has no data. You need a data capable machine to get the numbers.
