Is this flow at 23:16:50 indicative of her cough and does the flow rate (during the cough) distort her average flow rate so as to cause the reported hypopnea? Yes that is probably the cough you observed. Did the flow rate increase (caused by the cough) result in a false positive hypopnea, it would ...

Similar situation. showed Oscar to doc, and he noted that 75% of my events occurred during big leak periods. I would go to sleep for 2 hours and only have 2 events while I was at minimal leak. During the next 3 hours with leaks between 35-65, I would have 40 events. Then during the final 3 hours at...

I was asking because of a conversation I had with a co-worker about the patent dispute with apple. Masimo is a principle manufacturer of medical components and systems, and in particular oximetry. The lawsuit, going back to 2020, is not just a simple patent dispute, rather Apple is accused of theft...

I have the ring - I used to download the data from the device to the desktop app using the included UART USB cable (it's not a standard USB cable) which gives you a visualization of the data. You can choose to export to CSV which includes 4 second interval snapshots like so: Thanks, do have any ide...

Any users out there, do you see an association between your oximeter and breathing events (apneas, hypopneas)? Do the rings record saturation levels every second, or is the recorded data the average of the past several seconds? Marketing/sales information seems somewhat fuzzy on these details, so pe...

I think it proves a thought I have had for over 40 years about doctors....just because you got fancy letters after your name doesn't mean you can't be a friggin idiot. A similar article published by sleep science is also food for thought: The most important shortcoming of AHI is that it indicates t...

If you don’t mind my asking what equipment are you using for your home sleep study? Is there some difference in equipment between the first night and the second? PS, I’ve long felt that a single night snapshot study is not really adequate to characterize someone’s sleep, we all have the occasional r...

Best of Luck to you, Merry Christmas

Yes Rodger, it makes sense to attempt to get updated. HOWEVER, if you are getting a home study - that's one thing. if you are getting an in-lab observed study that's another. (I know of no in-home titration study) If this is at home you can decide to call a halt to the study anytime you want. If you...

Yep, but for an inexpensive Oximeter. It’s hard to beat. Some day the Oscar folks will figure out how to read the CSV file from this device.

OK, that would be pressure rather than airflow.
Do a forum search for "Chipmunk cheeks" - it's a well know condition

You said "like a tornado going on in my nose and face".
Is this "tornado" inside your mask or outside ? (Tornado seems to imply a high flow rather than a high pressure)

Perhaps Z's confusion is somewhat along the lines of 'what is open and what is shut' At least for my FFM masks the AA valves are open to allow air to pass through the valve assembly to the mask cushion when the machine is providing air. BUT, the little silicone leafs simultanously close the ports t...

My doctor recommended the EMAY brand, as this is what is what is used in his office. I purchased the EMO-80 for about 40 bucks a year ago. What I like about the most is that it takes readings each second and records them for display the next morning. You can even export the data to see the second by...

It does ????

Yes, it does. Of course. Among other things.

Pray tell how does the APAP machine measure sleeping position ?
Is it also reported in a secret OSCAR file?
