Help interpreting results.. haven’t been able to figure out OSCAR yet - McSleeperson - 07-07-2020
Hi everyone! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I have been searching through the forums trying to figure everything out, but I’m overwhelmed..
last night for the first time, I slept with the ResMed VPAP S (I believe it’s the S8, there is no turn dial).. the mask I used is the Philips Resperonics Amara View minimal contact full face cushion.
I felt like I slept pretty well - much better than with the CPAP at the sleep clinic where I had my studies done..
Here are my settings and results from the machine:

VT: 220-960

% SPONT T: 100%
% SPONT C: 76%

If anyone has the time to walk me through what all of the results mean, and give me any advice on my settings, I would be extremely appreciative! I apologize if I’ve left out a bunch of important information, but this is all I have.
On that note, can I get my report from my sleep studies? How would I go about getting that from my doctor?
Thank you in advance!!!
