The charts comparing supplemental oxygen at 5 L/min with nasal pillows and 3 L/min with a nasal cushion would be more useful with an Oscar chart showing leak rate. I suspect that between leaks and a higher bleed rate, the better SpO2 might be more fully explained. Not much question the nasal pillows are far better.

Thanks Sleeprider, I’ve heard that oxygen alone can sometimes prevent people with CSA from going into the over breathing / stop breathing cycle. You don’t think that’s what is happening with me?
I’m still having trouble getting the data from the SD card, but I hope to be able to correct that when I get an ASV PAP in a few days.
