RE: OA without Flow Limitation?
lessgroggy
If you can provide the Tidal Volume on the chart it will help understand each event.
You will see how flow drops and how low it goes.
Your inhalation time goes up during the OA so for sure you had something going on there.
How is your sleep and rest?
Are you tired during the day?
Flow Limitation is somewhat controversial as you can find a lot of discussion around it on the web and here on this website.
Depending on the algorithm that each manufacturer uses, different machine reaction occurs.
I have been on CPAP for 35+ yrs, and only now becoming aware of FL.
Your interest at this stage is good, but don't get too hung up on it if you have good sleep and good numbers.
Your chart and numbers look real good, you seem to have a very mild sleep apnea condition.
Low pressure is taking care of your OA events which is awesome.
You may see your Tidal Volume go up while increasing your pressures.
This will lead to better FL numbers, and possibly better sleep.
I do admire your interest in this, just that others with far more experience and knowledge scratch their heads with FL as well!
Hope this helps?
