Resmed Leaks Graph on Oscar - hard to interpret

[tgree]

After reading the Oscar wiki, I'm still a bit confused on how to read the leak graph, since ResMed only has one line. This is a typical night (average large leak is 9%):



Does the large leak count the times when I've removed the mask, or only when it detects my breath? I also noticed the pressure increased to compensate for the leak - is that enough or should I get a new mask?

Thank you!

Welcome, tgree. You're asking good questions about leaks, and we hope to be able to give you some answers. I'm so glad you're using Oscar and reading the Oscar Wiki. Now for a favor: could you post a screenshot of selected graphs -- for the whole night -- in the daily view that this screenshot comes from?

If the calendar or pie chart are on, please turn them off (calendar, little triangle next to today's date; pie chart in preferences, appearances).

Stack your charts like so:

Events
Flow rate
Pressure
Leaks
Flow limitations
Snores.

If they don't all fit, grab the horizontal gray bars that separate the graphs and move them up to squish the graphs a little.

Seeing the full context will make it easier to see what your pressure changes are responding to. Thanks!

Hard to tell without being able to see on the graph you provided if the pressure increase was caused by an apnea event or leak. Either way, your leak rate is way to high. Are you a shift worker... or is the clock on the machine not set?
