You can't really see an "arousal" in OSCAR. You can see an "arousal" in an EEG trace.

You can see apnea and  hypopnea events - which would probably be linked to an arousal if you had an EEG trace.

OK thank you. I thought I read that certain spikes are likely to be arousals.

The large breaths after the OA in the image above would be described by some as "arousal breathing". Its a fair description. There would be some kind of EEG arousal after the OA and 'gasping' to get more air when the airway opens again. "gasping after an OA" -> arousal. Without the OA it could just be turning in bed.

Here is an arousal from last night. A very slight diminished flow rate, then a gasp and a CA. An arousal IMHO.

Arrow AHI < 1.0 now, but still tired? Is it UARS, RERA, arousals or FL in your FR peaks? 2SleepBetta 66 20,048 01-06-2025, 12:03 PM
