Flow Limitations on DreamStation
I have a Dreamstation (yes, one of the bad ones), and they don't show flow limitations on the OSCAR graphs, just a number on the top of the left-hand side. Over eight days I have had an average of 1.9. Is that high? If so, what adjustment should I make to my settings to lower it? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I believe someone indicated that Respironics cannot do that.

the frog appears to be correct-

Now ResMed will give you a graph and not put it on the top Events graph.

Re: Flow Limitations on DreamStation
think of that number as a per hour average like oa/hyponea/CA....because that is what it is.Deborah K. wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 6:42 pmjust a number on the top of the left-hand side.

It isn't included in the AHI though.
If sleeping good and feeling decent I would ignore it.
1.9 is not high.
more baseline pressure is what we would suggest though if someone wanted to reduce them.
usually doesn't take much more.

Re: Flow Limitations on DreamStation
Thanks everyone! I'll step my lowest pressure up by .5 to see if things are better. If not, I'll drop back down.
