UNDER CONSTRUCTION===Sleepyhead Flow Limitation===DeVilbiss machines do NOT record FL data; Fisher & Paykel Icons do record FL dataResmed graphs flow limitations on a scale of 0 to 1Philips flags flow limitations as events. Please see: [[===Examples of respiratory wave form abnormalities including Flow Limitation===<br /UARS and BiPAP]]>and [[Flow LimitationFile:flow_limitation_images_zpsdb148d1f.jpg]]
===Sleepyhead Flow Limitation Example (Resmed)===In Sleepyhead, flow limitation is usually seen as a flattened inspiratory peak in the Flow Rate chart instead of the normal rounded wave-form. The following images show a moderate to severe flow limitation, and the same patient using EPR to achieve a normal inspiratory flow.<br>
