If the mask sticks leaky while sleeping, I can find the number and rate of the nose in OSCAL. Under the Statistics heading, there is Leakage Speed Current Restriction information. Can I find it here? What is the normal number? must be

Hello,

If there is mask leak while sleeping, how can i find it on the oscar?

[SarcasticDave94]

There's a leak graph on OSCAR. Looking at the pattern will help determine if it's mask or mouth leaks.

I use Resmed AirCurse 10 cs pacewave device. This device has 3 modes: 1.asv 2.asvauto 3.cpap. I also use OSCAR as a sleep program. For example, if I have Central sleep apnea syndrome (CSAS) or change-stokes breathing during sleep, will Oscar show these respirations? Because I do not have these modes on my device.

The ASV does not show CA or CSR events separate from other events, labeling those within Unclassified.

Typically for an ASV that's setup well, it will not have many, if any, CA to report.

If you have true CSR to be concerned over, you'll also have a cardiologist as part of your medical team. You will likely have heart failure or some other serious heart condition to be concerned over.

The device and settings I use appear in the report. The device constantly records my normal breathing as hypopnea. Even if I don't fall asleep, it records hypopnea while I'm awake. For example, I'll put you a sleep log. I went to bed at 00.43.13, the time shown in the report. I got out of bed at 01.51.15 without sleeping. I looked at the report. I had 40 hypopneas. hypopnea appears as 35.29. The duration appears as 01:08:01. In other words, my normal breathing appears as hypopnea during this period, without sleeping at all. I want to know why?  this happens everytime.

If you're not sleeping, it's not a real Apnea or Hypopnea. These must be while asleep, minimum 10 seconds, about half obstruction for Hypopnea.

Wake breathing is always more irregular than sleep breathing.

To fix sleep events, EPAP or PS Min needs to go up. It will not fix any wake breathing.

THANKS
Would it be appropriate if I set EPAP to 7 instead of 5? Do you have any adjustment ideas?

[SarcasticDave94]

You could increase EPAP Min if you want to. I don't recall what was tried and has helped or didn't help.

The ASV protocol calls for increasing EPAP pressure for UA (obstructive) and H events.
