Where to begin? What is important?

Where to begin? What is important?
Hi.

I'm new to this. OSCAR doesn't show much AHI (only 2,6), but besides from that the report seems to me to show rather messy sleep and breathing - se  attachments.

"Classes of inspiratory flow shapes" seems to me to be mostly class 2 and 6, but non "normal", as far as I can se. Can anything be done about that?

Lots of events, even though Prisma display says AHI 2 and no leaks.

I havn't been able to find a definition of "rRVM" - what does it mean?  (also can't find explanations for many of the acronyms in OSCAR).

Doctors says all is fine because of very few apneas on CPAP, but I am quite certain, that it is not al fine, 'cause I feel crappy all day.  I don't know where to begin - What is important?

Thank you for your help and best wishes to all.

Hi Søvnig!  -  Welcome

Where are you seeing this "rRVM" ?  I am unfamiliar with that acronym. The only search that resulted with anything meaningful, was "Respiratory Volume Monitoring".  I would speculate that the little "r" could stand for "recorded", but I am grasping at straws on that one.

Found it!  It seems to be unique to your CPAP manufacturer.  I had to look it up in the Preferences > Waveforms.  It is Relative Respiratory Minute Volume.
