SleepyHead Data

Post by pdeli » Thu Jan 16, 2014 2:50 pm

I’m looking at my SleepyHead data and I see under “Details” that my EPAP =5.0, my IPAP = 12, and my PS = 7.0.

Under the “Event Breakdown” for the same day, I see Min EPAP = 5.0, Max EPAP = 5.5. For Min IPAP I see 7.0, and max IPAP = 11.0. For PS I see min =2.0 and max PS = 5.5.

So I believe the Details PS of 7 is the difference between IPAP of 12 and EPAP of 5.
And where does the Min/Max PS (2.0/5.5) in Event Breakdown come from? Clinical Settings?

Also, my clinical settings are Min PS 3.0 and Max PS 5.5. So where does the PS of 7.0 in my Details come from if my Max PS is 5.5?

Boy this is fun, and any responses in English are greatly appreciated.

Phil

The detail statistics page in SH is less than perfect when it comes to reporting those PS numbers.
Just a bug in the software.
My suggestion...ignore those numbers because they won't make much sense.
That's what I do.

Okay, that was clear.

So since my AHI is pretty much at 1.0, should I just now focus on comfort? I can only discern comfort before I go to sleep (inhale requires "sucking", or exhale requires "pushing") or after I wake up in the morning. When I do wake up occasionally during the night, I have no sense of why, and it only seems like a rollover issue.
