Periodic Breathing Conern

Post by Rioric » Fri Apr 26, 2024 5:45 pm

I have noticed a pretty high number of periodic breathing over the past few days. I normally see around 8% or so every night. I just started using the APAP again, however, I had these when I used it last time as well. This isn't really new, but just something I'm curious about.

I have included a snippet from Oscar with a couple instances of PB and think it might be CSR. This night is broken up into two sessions, that's why there is such a large gap of nothing in the middle!

Does this look like CSR or is it likely something else?

No. That's not CSR.
CSR/Cheyne Stokes Respiration is just one of many types of Periodic Breathing that has a very specific criteria to make it CSR.
Yours doesn't.

Now this person below has real CSR and heart failure to go along with it.

Were you by chance awake or half awake when that PB got flagged?
