Did I die last night, or is there a machine problem?

RE: Did I die last night, or is there a machine problem?
We don't see the left panel data, so info is missing. Your leaks are pretty high all night, which affects accuracy in the data. Get these leaks fixed.
Do you have auto stop active? High leaks may turn on the auto stop.

my guess is you're still alive so try one of the other answers. LOL....

Thanks, Sarge. You're good for a laugh a minute. But since you were a medic, if I die again I'll make sure to call you.

The leaks are high enough to interfere with the flow sensor detecting breathing or mask pressure. Solve the leaks and the graphs will normalize. It would help if you included the detailed data (left panel) in your screenshots.

Smart stop was what I was referring to.
You're getting mask leaks where the leak pattern is spikey, and mouth leaks where the broad flatter pattern shows. Next chart, can you collapse the calendar? There's still left panel data hiding. Thanks.

RE: Did I die last night, or is there a machine problem?
I think we might learn something by looking at 3-4 minute zooms of the flow rate chart to see what the respiratory wave looks like up-close. What I see is that that the flow rate is inversely proportional to leaks. When leaks are controlled, the respiration looks normal, when leaks are high the flow rate is very low. Inspiration time is longer than expiration on the statistics, so a zoom will help us determine what is really going on in that regard, but I strongly suspect a fairly significant flow limitation. If you want to include a CA event in the zoom, we may be able to determine if that is obstructive flow limitation or a real CA as well. Your 240 mL tidal volume is likely inaccurate due to leaks, but that would be extremely low for any male unless you are like 4-1/2 feet tall. I see a strong need here for a full-face mask, perhaps the Resmed Airfit F40 instead of the N30i, and possibly bilevel to overcome the flow limits.
