Why does my flow rate line thickness vary? - DougalMcGuire - 07-04-2024
...so yeah, I'm sure there's a better way to put it, but it should be clear what I mean from my screenshots. Each night my flow graph zoomed out is either really thick or thin and I was just curious as to why that is? All my stats are very good, my treatment is really effective and I can't find any correlation between my stats and the flow graph thickness. my mask also seals well with virtually no leaks with a nice and flat leak rate graph each night. So i was just curious what it means, is one better or worse than the other?

see the axis on the left? on the first one says 65 the other 250 which explains why it's thinner. not exactly sure why the scale changes but it might be due to that brief leak.
the actual value is very similar in both cases.

You can override the Y-axis range and make your graphs more consistent. Just right-click on the vertical axis of the graph near the title, and change the range from auto to a range like -100 to +100, or whatever is appropriate for you. The range -65 to +65 looks pretty good. You can also add a dotted line at zero. That will make the crossover between inspiration and expiration easier to visualize.
