Cheyne Stokes with 0 Flow Limit
Hi there! I'm a bit confused about this situation: I'm seeing Cheyne-Stokes breathing along with significant central apneas, even though my SpO2 is above 94, with a leak rate of 0 and flow limit at 0. I'm fairly certain I was awake during this period.
I've attached the graph for reference. Thanks!

RE: Cheyne Stokes with 0 Flow Limit
If you were pretty certain that you were awake during this time, this could be what it looks like when the brain doesn't 100% smoothly hand off voluntary control of breathing to involuntary sleep breathing (popularly known as, "sleep wake junk").
A great thing to do would be to show this exact OSCAR chart to your Dr. for more interpretation/clarification.
