How to read my episode number?

Post by pgile » Sat Jun 02, 2018 7:42 am

My episodes per hour were 0.2 on my ResMed machine.
Is this 2 per hour...?

It's a per hour depending on where you were at on the sleep report and if the screen you see at a glance without going anywhere...per hour average.

The manual explains it in more detail

Welcome to the forum.

O.2 per hour...very good.

It's not 2 per hour it's less than 1 per hour average.
If you slept 5 hours that means only 1 event the entire 5 hours.

Note that ResMed is a brand name. There are quite a few current models being made, and a lot of older models still in service. Please fill in your profile so that we can see exactly which one you have.

Regardless of the model you have, 0.2 events per hour means one event every 5 hours.

No, it's 0.2 per hour. it's an average over the night.

Yes, regardless of what machine you're using .2 means one event every five hours. In reality it probably means two events for the whole night (due to rounding).

Unless they're events of unusually long duration (unlikely), this is a very good number!
