Questions re. interpreting Real from False Events on OSCAR

Questions re. interpreting Real from False Events on OSCAR
I HAVE THREE QUESTIONS pertaining to "reading & interpreting" OSCAR graphs:

1. With REAL CAs, do you have "recovery breaths" after the reported event (as with OAs) ?
2. If there is SWJ-looking breaths JUST PRIOR to a reported CA does that indicate that it is FALSE ?
3. Does the Respiratory Rate graph help to identify TRUE from FALSE CAs & OAs with a drop in RR? Must this drop reach zero to be considered a REAL event?

Thanks for any insight into this.

These are good questions and I'm hoping that someone will be able to provide some solid responses.

1. Typically no.  Especially if the CAwas CO2 driven

2. Typically ignore event following SWJ or arousal as theyvrare usually you holding your breath as you toss.

3. Irregularity in RR can indicate awake breathing and as such would be a false reading.  It is not uncommon for RR rate to fall during sleep so be aware of that.
