Airsense 10 Pressure Stat

Post by joeljjk11 » Tue Jun 19, 2018 10:18 am

Hi everyone - quick question on the Resmed Airsense 10 pressure stat. Is this the maximum pressure that the machine got to or an average? I can’t seem to find this info from a google search.

Thanks!
Joel

You need to be more specific.. On the left side of the Sleepyhead report where ir says Max Pressure...thats is the highest pressure reached during the night. It may have been for only a minute..Is that what you are referring to?

Depends on where you are getting the number.
If you are talking about off of the machine LCD screen and are using apap/auto mode then it is what we call a 95% number.
It is NOT any sort of average.

All it means is you were at OR BELOW that number for 95% of the time. To see how below for however long software needs to be used for more details.

So where did you see the number you were wondering about?

Yes I am referring to the pressure statistic on the Airsense report after each night. Last night mine was 19.0, so the majority of the night I was under that pressure? I was just wondering.

It is at or below. That’s all it is. No way to know how much time at any pressure with any certainty unless you do the software. I have see 95% numbers of 18 but the overall average was 10. It can an will vary a lot unless in fixed mode.
