Born with CSA

RE: Born with CSA
The charts comparing supplemental oxygen at 5 L/min with nasal pillows and 3 L/min with a nasal cushion would be more useful with an Oscar chart showing leak rate. I suspect that between leaks and a higher bleed rate, the better SpO2 might be more fully explained. Not much question the nasal pillows are far better.

RE: Born with CSA
Thanks Sleeprider, I’ve heard that oxygen alone can sometimes prevent people with CSA from going into the over breathing / stop breathing cycle. You don’t think that’s what is happening with me?
I’m still having trouble getting the data from the SD card, but I hope to be able to correct that when I get an ASV PAP in a few days.
