Interpreting ResScan data
#1
Interpreting ResScan data
Just downloaded the new version (6.0.0.9799). 
I've been a CPAP user for a few years with no problems and I've been skipping along pretty carefree after the usual initial adjustments. 
Lately, I've caught myself almost falling asleep at moments of the day and I have a recurrence of heartburn, two things that seemed to stop overnight when I first started. 
I thought it would be smart to check my stats and of course, now I don't remember how to read them anymore. 

My Apnea Index says 0.5
Hypopnea is 1.4

Are these cause for concern, do you think?

RE: Interpreting ResScan data
hello sjssf. on the contrary, not enough info. nothing in what you provided shows anything but near perfection. if your symptoms showed up less than 30 days ago problems might be obscured. take a look at the last week or so to see if any difference. if not, there may be other things going on, like arousals caused by flow limitations. for stuff like that you need to see your flow rate at about a 2-4 minute view scale. if you have known awakenings, focus on the last 2 minutes of a sleep session. Sleephead is better for our purposes.

pressure settings of 4-20 is fine if it's working for you. many people find such a low min difficult to inhale. given your pressure stats you could conceivably set min pressure as high as 10 and max as low as 15. usually no harm in leaving top end open but you could experiment with incrementally raising min to see what happens. with your median of 11 it might be taking longer than necessary to build to that pressure. otoh, you're not getting flagged events so if the low pressure is problematic, it's not apparent how without looking closely at the flow rate.

Thanks. The symptoms weren't extreme and it could be approaching old age as well! 
I'll keep monitoring.
