Need input on my oscar data (RR seems high)

Average resting respiratory rates by age are:

• birth to 6 weeks: 30–40 breaths per minute
• 6 months: 25–40 breaths per minute
• 3 years: 20–30 breaths per minute
• 6 years: 18–25 breaths per minute
• 10 years: 17–23 breaths per minute
• Adults: 12–18 breaths per minute

Your charts look really good.

Not much leak, Flow Limitation is pretty empty. You only had two events and they both happened at the beginning of a session so they may not have been real or sleep onset.

My only suggestion might be to smooth out the pressure line a bit. I like a really flat line *for me*, to stop the fast increases in pressure. You may want to increase your EPAP a CM and see how you do.

Most people here aren't too concerned about respiratory rates. Mine is typically about 17-18. According to the Wiki:
