Apnea? Interpreting Oximeter data with Sleepyhead - MarkLA - 11-06-2015
Hi All,
First post, be gentle :-)
I got the data from my CMS50-D imported into Sleepyhead. I have about 5 hours of data from last night. I'm trying to figure out if I have Apnea.
I looked at the Wiki and there's a wealth of info on interpreting CPAP data, but I didn't see anything on interpreting Oximeter data. Maybe I missed it, or a FAQ somewhere.
Can anyone comment on the data?
Average SpO2 % 94.67
Min SpO2 % 88.00
SpO2 Drop Index 4.96
% of time in SpO2 Drop 3.10%
Average Pulse Rate 45.26
Min Pulse Rate 36.00
Max Pulse Rate 104.00
Pulse Change Index 12.88
Channel--Avg---Min---Med---95%---Max
Pulse---- RateHeart rate in beats per minute (bpm)

Thanks much!
