RE: Minute Vent Question
Thanks for the zoomed-in view. Your flow-rate pattern looks pretty similar to mine (see attached). I asked a question about this on the forum some months ago, and I learned that the little oscillations around the zero line are probably caused by my heart-beat, and that these cardiogenic oscillations can result in mis-measurement of respiration rate or exhalation time.
I don't have the expertise to say with complete confidence that that's what you're showing, but it sure looks like it. It is not uncommon, the cause has not been definitively established, and by itself it is nothing to worry about.

RE: Minute Vent Question
Typically it is from movement or heart beat. The flow is a bit limited in that segment, but 0.00 wins!

Hey, I'll take all the info I can get and thanks for taking a look...Right now I'm so new at this most squiggles look like one another. I have identified a lot more though. Using the camera and going to the second on OSCAR I can see what happens like when I turn over or disconnect or scratch my A$$...
