Flow rate explanation

RE: Flow rate explanation
Higher pressure should help clear residual obstruction, and increasing the difference between IPAP and EPAP with EPR should help with hypopnea and flow limitation. Your are wearing a cervical collar, and it is important that it remain positioned to prevent positional apnea. Which one are you using?

RE: Flow rate explanation
When I look at the cpap statistics page under flow limitation index it always reads 0.00 for every month.  If I look at the daily tab under statistics it does give me the flow limitations for min, med etc.

RE: Flow rate explanation
I checked mine and I was also missing the flow limitation all the way back to 6 months. But for the year showed numbers. I was using a Resmed the last 6 months but a Dreamstation prior to that. I'm guessing the problem is with sleepyhead decoding the data in Resmed machines.
