Nothing to worry about if they don't happen often and are scattered.ħ. Even "normal" people occasionally have a random central from time to time during sleep. That's true whether you have Obstructive Sleep Apnea and are on cpap treatment, or have no sleep apnea at all - a "normal" person. However, it's normal for anyone to occasionally have a random "central" or two. The REMstar Auto algorithm looks for apnea’s that are non-responsive to treatment which could indicate that these are central events. Non-responsive apneas and hypopneas = Events the autopap did not resolve. As long as the AHI (apnea/hypopnea index) stays below 5, the machine is doing its job.Ħ. Those are events that happened despite the machine trying to keep them away. You'll see some hypopneas, apneas, limited flows and snores appearing on the Encore Pro software chart and graph. This often correlates with the severity of airway obstruction and apnea. Snore = The Snore Index displays the total number of snoring events per night divided by the hours of use. Flow Limitation - Partial closure of the upper airway, which impedes the flow of air into the lungs. % of time that night the auto pap was at the above pressure on line #1 above.


Min at pressure = the top line has the pressure the machine run at and the min of pressure show how many minutes the auto pap was at the above pressure on line #1 above. Pressures the machine ran at that night Cu. How to interpret and read Encore Pro software sleep data based on daily readingġ.
