online therapist options to review OSCAR data?

Post by Kolchak2 » Mon Mar 20, 2023 5:01 pm

Hello friends,
I'm looking for an online therapist to log into my laptop and review my OSCAR data and the settings on my Aircurve 10SV (too tired to figure this out myself :) The only option I've found is lanky lefty at $300 for data analysis. Just wondering if there are less expensive options?
If the cost is close, I'll pony up the $300 as he sure seems to know his stuff.
thank you
Mark

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

hi again,
would this screen shot (assuming it posts correctly) suffice to start a thread requesting review of my therapy?
thanks again - this board is a wonderful resource for a very confusing treatment modality!

hmmm...I adding the the attachment and the file name appears but its not showing in the post. The status shows a yellow triangle stating board attachement quota has been reached...is 157 KB too large?

* never mind - just saw that the board cant host more pics. I'll find another place to host.

In the first post from Pugsy at the link I gave:
EDIT...8/29/22 We can't do attachments at this time so you will need to host your report images somewhere and then link to them.
I use imgur.com....you can use whatever you wish.

So I prefer imgur.com. It's free and the ads are minimal and it's easy to use.

this was first night using the bleep. I felt zero leaks via mask or mouth and yet large leak was high. I'm still trying to comprehend the interplay between all these charts, settings and measurements. thanks in advance for your patience : )

What was your original diagnosis that earned you this type of machine?

How are you sleeping and feeling?

Do those leaks disturb your sleep? What mask were you using? If the Bleep mask, which shows in your profile, did you tape your mouth shut?

How did you come to be using these particular settings? Did you have an in lab sleep study using the machine so they could figure out optimal pressures or did someone just come up with these settings?

Was the SD card in the machine during the night of this report or did you just plug the SD card in after you slept?
The flow rate graph is missing. Did you just omit it or was it just not there?

The flow limitation graph is huge and doesn't need to be that big and the leak graph is tiny and needs to be bigger.
Just remember that if you post other detailed reports. No need to redo this one at this time.

Here's an example that makes things easier to read and evaluate.

Thanks for reply Pugsy. I won't have time to reply in full and redo screen shot till tomorrow, so I wont piece meal it here.
I'm missing flow rate but otherwise they look similar to my untrained eye.. should I expand the charts more? still figuring out how to manipulate & understand the oscar data.

-ty!

when you have time take a stroll through this

http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.ph ... rpretation

I can't see just how bad the leaks went to but if above 35 L/min it is possible that the machine is missing sensing events.
Can't say for sure though...maybe nothing happened during those large leaks but it wouldn't be impossible for the machine to just not be able to sense or record when faced with really large leaks.

Also....anytime you post a report please include how you feel you slept and how you feel in general. It's very important.
