Ok here comes the reports:

They're on 6.0 cmH2O.

Yes, unfortunately I forgot to switch to 5 cmH20 last night. I just did right now and will post the result in a similar form tomorrow.

Could you anyway give your opinion about the strange behavior of my O2 sats? in my opinion there is a clear trend visible. but I don't get how o2 sats can worsen while AHI remains stable

Rubicon, you're saying that there's good reason to believe that the large number of arousals on all the NPSG are good lower bounds on the actual number of arousals that occurred on those three nights of sleep. That correct?

I certainly think so. Look at Study #2:



AHI 1.6, no RERAs to speak of, but Respiratory Arousals are 180, Arousal Index 36.5. What sense does that make?

Regarding the Arousal index: I asked them directly and they said its the automatic result and they didn't correct it manually, so I should not pay it any attention.

Well sorry, tell them that's not good enough. All 3 studies need to be rescored and Spontaneous Arousal Index calculated.

Also, a lot of PLMs seem to show up (Index 10.4 on diagnostic). Wonder if those are valid, or is that another "don't pay attention to that".

Sure! Be glad to!

What was your body position (right, left, supine) during both nights? Note specifically where changes occur.

Also, import your oximetry data into SleepHQ. Make sure the times are synced.

I think that's not possible. at least I did not find that option

Mostly left, rest right. not on the back.

Wellvue O2 Ring? Certainly can, but I'm off to do retired stuff today. Keep fiddling with the csv file. It'll get there.

Both nights? Maybe FRC changed a bit. Or margin of error of device.

Are the arousals the stick being used to poke the underlying CompSAS?

Or are they part of the trigger that results from poking the CompSAS?

Or am I missing something critical?

Nope, we're definitely missing something critical!

Here we have a CSA patient with no reason to have CSA but responds to CPAP.

Easy huh?

My DWing thought is to try to make the offender (OSA, CSA or CompSAS) expose himself.

Not like that!!

Rather CPAP 5.0 no EPR.

CPAP 8.0 EPR 3.0.

CPAP 7.0 no EPR but sleep in separate room.

Consider causes/options for poor sleep efficiency/spontaneous arousals.
