First time looking at graphs interpretation help - smallhandsfeeding - 02-02-2024
[attachment=59148][attachment=59147]
Hi,
so I wrote previously I couldn't figure out OSCAR but obviously got it working (and could not figure out how to delete a previous post). Anyway, as I previously wrote, I'm trying to figure out what works best for me with bilevel settings. I definitely seem to feel better with a lowered EPAP setting, although the first few days I set my machine to auto bipap just to see what it would would do. Based on where the auto setting seemed to sit overall (8.5 for IPAP and EPAP) I set IPAP to auto and EPAP to 6. Still need to think about tweaking the settings, I think, and any help reading these graphs is most appreciated!

Did you ever get any help in reading the graphs? Have you gotten things worked out? For what it's worth, your Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) is less than 5... which is considered "normal". Though that doesn't tell the whole story and a person can have an AHI less than 5 and still be dealing with unresolved issues.
Take care
John
