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.

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.
