OSCAR graphs - Central vs. Obstructive?
I have Oscar with a new Dreamstation and it does seem to read the data. Although I have uploaded the SD card data to Oscar I cant seem find any feature in Oscar that provides a layman's term interpretation of the data. For example, would like to find out whether Oscar can interpret from the Dreamstation data if one might have central vs obstructive apnea? Was Oscar able to interpret your data?

RE: Trying to get OSCAR to work with my DreamStation [for work-around, see post #9]
Your info will get lost in this thread. Will a Mod please split this into a new thread.
Welcome to the forum mrreynolds777 We actually removed that feature. We felt it was poorly done. From the medical community's point of view you are treated, thank you, see me next year. Here We like to go for much better results. We like to see you not just treated but optimally treated. There are 3 numbers of interest. AHI is the overall number. CAI or Central Apnea Index,we would prefer a CAHI but Central Hypopneas are not indicated. And OAHI Obstructive Apnea Hypopnea Index which you calculate as follows OAHI = AHI - CAI Any of these numbers over 5 implies significance to your medical team. Meaning that element is insufficiently treated. As I i said we like to see people as optimally treated which you are not. With your machine you need the minimium raised because your hypopneas are too high and can be significantly reduced and you have both flow limitations and RERAs which can be addressed. To start I suggest increasing your min up to 7 cmH2O

RE: OSCAR graphs - Central vs. Obstructive?
Hi, I am also curious about this users question. When I look at the OSCAR data, I do not see the CAI? Also, can I post my OSCAR data here for interpretation or should I start a new thread? Sorry, new to this website. Thank you for your help!

Welcome to the forum. It's best if you start your own thread.
