CPAP Data Interpretation
From Apnea Board Wiki
Contents
Introduction
- This article and associated pages discuss the interpretation of data created by CPAP machines (of all types) and viewed using suitable software. Although the principles are software-independent, for convenience we will base the discussion on OSCAR. However much of what is discussed in these pages will also apply to ResScan, Encore, Prisma TS and other apnea software.
- For details of the OSCAR program, see OSCAR Help.
