 since I've been using this machine over a month now.... obstructive apneas have been low, under 15.

My central apneas have been high, like above usually above 25.. very rarely below 20...
Is that the number of events every hour, or the total number of events for the entire night? Fifteen obstructive apneas per hour is a problem. Fifteen events over an eight hour period is less than two per hour which is not that much of a problem.

Milboltnut, it'd be helpful if you'd give the AHI, which is the average number of events per hour, instead of the number of events per night. The reason is basically what Okie Bipap says.

Any luck with taking and posting a screenshot from Oscar?

take screen shots (save as jpg or png)

there's an option to post attachments when you're writing a new post. That's what you use to share attachments such as photos

Slowly read the instructions for Oscar - it will tell you how to post everything - though please leave out the calendar, pie chart and unnecessary graphs - it tells you exactly what to do if you're patient.

I only get the help tab.. which is wikipedia.... which is really not any good. Not following you when you want me only to post certain graphs.

Do instructions say which graphs should be shown - you only seem to have half of one at the bottom show up.

ok... I see what graphs to list but in the app, you have to scroll to see them. How do you open it up?

In the left-hand panel, turn off the pie chart. I'm not sure which version of Oscar you are using, so first look in View and uncheck Pie Chart if you see it there. If not, go to File, Preferences, Appearance, and uncheck pie chart.

To fit all the key graphs into one screenshot, grab the horizontal gray bar that separates them. You can then move the gray bar up to squish each graph a little bit. For the machine you have, you want to include these, and only these:

Events
Flow rate
Pressure
Leaks

(Snore and flow limitations are important too, but for your machine, I believe these show up as event flags.)

You're doing well with the whole Oscar thing. This will really help people help you.
