CPAP Reading Clarification - gonzalo - 10-12-2024
Can someone help me understand the difference in readings from these 2 devices for the same night? My impression looking at the DreamStation2 results is that it
was not a very good night: however, looking at the Watch results it looks great? A clarification will be appreciated.
DreamStation 2 Galaxy Watch5
Slept Hrs. 8:10 Awake 37m 7%
AHI 12.3 REM 1h 22m 17%
Clear Airway Apneas 14 Light 4h 19m 57%
Obstructive Apneas 53 Deep 1h 29m 19%
Hypopneas 33 Actual Sleep time: 7h 10m
Excellent: 86 score

The watch is just telling you that you slept through the events not that you did not have the events.

Staceyburke is spot on. In addition, your PAP machine can't tell if you're awake or asleep.
Your profile says your minimum pressure is 4. Given the number of OAs you're having, I'm willing to bet that's way too low.
I strongly recommend that you post some data here so we can make recommendations about your settings. You can sign up for free at Sleep HQ and post a link to your charts here, or you can download Oscar to your laptop or desktop computer and post a Daily chart. You will need an SD card in your machine for both.
