somone know what is fl runs,
A few (at least two) breaths in a row that aren't absolutely perfect and that may or may not lead to a hypopnea or an apnea. And for some people with a lot of them reported (for when they are actually asleep, anyway), that can sometimes indicate the possibility of less than ideal sleep, especially for a light sleeper easily aroused out of deeper sleep stages.

I personally choose to ignore reports of them during my own home treatment, since I trust my brand of machine to know when to react to them and when not to, and I sleep well. But for someone troubleshooting sleep issues, the number of flagged flow limitations can offer useful clues.

For anyone wanting to do a historical deep dive on the subject from a comparative perspective, here is an ancient thread with some detailed quotes from -SWS on flow limitations, one of which I believe mentions a manufacturer's use of the term "fl run" at the time:

The people who confuse "entomology" and "etymology" really bug me beyond words.
