Re: oxygen desaturation levels.

When looking at OSCAR, on the graph that indicates pressure, I have come to notice that occasionally the green line becomes red for a small segment. What does the red segment indicate?

Re: oxygen desaturation levels.

I am curious, I have down loaded OSCAR and have discussed with my primary doctor. But the trend that I am noticing is that neither my doctor nor the DME appears to know of or heard of OSCAR.

I had a sleep study, and I was diagnosed with an RDI of 17. Which for some reason didn’t seem really bad, but what really got my attention was when I was...
