Insane Leaks - Low AHI? Help understand?
Can anyone make sense of this? I am showing multiple hours of large leaks yet my AHI is low? This only started happening the last few days or so.

RE: Insane Leaks - Low AHI? Help understand?
When you have a large leak your machine can not tell you are having apnea. It tells if the air come back it is recorded as an apnea. because the air is blasting out of the leak no return of air is being sent to the machine to record an apnea. See my signature to see how apnea is categorized. an apnea is the closing of your airway, either 100% or down to 10%
On another note you have your min set to 4. That is the absolute lowest pressure a pap machine can possible go. These machines are used for children, and that is why the low is 4. For an adult that is to low. I would set the min to 7 with the EPR set to 3. I'm sure that will make the night much more comfortable....
