Square Wave Tops, minimal flow limitation - mark.apnea - 08-12-2024

Just curious,

Looking at my OSCAR data, it see a consistent theme of flat-topped waveforms.  Not sure what this suggests, but recently read it could be some flow limitation.  Looing at the OSCAR data, I mostly see zero limitations, except for a few minor blips.

Am I on the right track looking into this?

"flat-topped waveforms" are abrupt inhalation blockades treated with pressure support.
