RE: Newbie to OSCAR - why mask leakage rate is so high
Mouth breathing or your jaw/mouth simply drops open while sleeping. Do you wake up with a very dry mouth?
There may also be some mask movement. Double check your mask fit. Read through the Mask Primer for tips on mask fit. As far as mouth leaking/breathing, many here use mouth tape. I, myself have found that to be a good remedy. It does take some getting used to. With that high of a leak rate, you cannot assume that your AHI numbers are correct.
