SP02 Baseline and desaturations calculation
I understand the definition of a SP02 drop as 4% for > 10 seconds. Is this a 4% drop from SP02 baseline? If so how do you calculate baseline? Average over the entire night?
OSCAR software calculates the SP02 baseline as the average over the first hour. This can lead to a wildly different number of drops depending on what the SP02 is over the first hour. Some nights I get a 98% baseline others a 92% baseline.
