I have no idea what some of the titles mean when looking at my data information. in leakage i have 3 categories.
it's measured in L/min.
median
95th percentile
maximum
out of the 4 days worth of data 2 of them have a median of 0 but they have numbers in the other 2 areas. can anyone decipher these for me?
i was also wondering what the difference between AHI and apnea index is? i noticed two number readings however hypopneas are in the AHI only. anyone know why?
in the graph it allows me to see mask events. is that the duration that i had the mask on each time consistently? some of the duration are as long as 8hrs.
hopefully someone out there understands all this medical jargon. i go to see the sleep doctor tomorrow so if i'm having any issues i'd like to know so i can let him know. thanks so much.

Re: reading my graph/charts, need assistance
figured out how to get the detailed data and wow what an eye opener. my dh was shocked to see all the events. it looks like a lot. i am leaking alot too by the looks of the graph. i'm not sure how much to go by the graph rather then the numbers.

Re: reading my graph/charts, need assistance
Maximum leak is the highest you ever go to.
Median is something you spent haft the night at. A median of 0 means you had 0 leaks for half the night. Or, in other words, for half the night you had more than 0 leaks.
The 95th percentile means you exceeded that number for only 5% of the time, and were at it, or beneath for the other 95%.
