New to Oscar, please help me understand the data. - Stray - 09-21-2024
Hello I'm brand new to Oscar and CPAP in general. I've been using it for about a week now but I only just really found out that there were better ways to get data from the machine and got myself the needed items to do so, now I'm looking at these charts and thinking, what does it all mean lol. Any help with reading these charts would be great and perhaps tips on what to monitor as I continue recording my data.
Thank you.

Hi Stray! -
Your Flow Limits control your pressure. Flow Limits can be controlled by using the EPR option. I would recommend that you set your EPR to 3 (Full-Time) and your pressure range 10 minimum and leave it at 15 maximum. This will start you off at a 10cm inhale and a 7cm exhale and will top out at a 15cm inhale and a 12cm exhale. Let's see if that helps you.
