Hypopneas with & without times? - cathyf - 11-03-2021

Most of the time my hypopneas are scored without length, but sometimes they do have lengths. Is this how my ResMed machine is reporting them? Or is this some magic that OSCAR is applying?

Last night I had three. First is showed untimed:

the next two are shown as length 16 & 13 seconds:

It's how ResMed is reporting them.

Weird -- any idea what's going on? In rummaging around in my data I sure don't see any pattern in what distinguishes timed and untimed -- but then I don't actually have many reported hypopneas to look at.

What's also odd is that I've got some hypopneas that I can't figure out why the machine flagged those breaths as they don't look any worse than a lot of other unflagged breaths.
