Post Please Help with my Titration Results 
Can someone help me with this?  I went in for titration, and it looks like I should be at 10cm of pressure, and the report recommendation suggested a pressure of 7-10.  But my doctor was insistent that 9cm is more than enough...  

Pressure    Sleep Hours    TRT (min)    REM (min)    Non-REM (min)
0     6.4      399.8      57.5      304.0
5     1.7      105.2      13.5      86.7
7     1.2      72.0      14.0      57.5
9     2.4      145.3      44.0      98.3
10     1.3      77.4      34.0      43.0

Pressure    Obstr. Apnea    Cent. Apnea    Mixed Apnea    Hypopneas    Total Events    RDI
0    NA    NA    NA    NA    NA    12.3
5    0    0    1    16    17    10.2
7    0    0    0    2    2    1.7
9    0    0    0    3    3    1.3
10    0    0    0    0    0    0.0

Pressure    SaO2 High    SaO2 Low    SaO2 Mean
0     99.0      84.4      96.0
5     99.2      87.3      96.0
7     98.5      93.2      95.9
9     98.7      91.4      96.6
10     99.0      94.9      97.2

Hi TorontoGuy:
Are those numbers correct?  You had a 13 hour sleep study and slept darn near the whole time?

Sleepydave,

They're kinda correct.  I added the results of my first overnight study onto the titration table at 0 pressure.  I should've removed that row.  Here it is in its correct form (sorry about that - it was for my own benefit because I wanted to see how much benefit CPAP was over non-CPAP):

Pressure Sleep Hours TRT (min) REM (min) Non-REM (min)
5 1.7 105.2 13.5 86.7
7 1.2 72.0 14.0 57.5
9 2.4 145.3 44.0 98.3
10 1.3 77.4 34.0 43.0

Pressure Obstr. Apnea Cent. Apnea Mixed Apnea Hypopneas Total Events RDI
5 0 0 1 16 17 10.2
7 0 0 0 2 2 1.7
9 0 0 0 3 3 1.3
10 0 0 0 0 0 0.0

Pressure SaO2 High SaO2 Low SaO2 Mean
5 99.2 87.3 96.0
7 98.5 93.2 95.9
9 98.7 91.4 96.6
10 99.0 94.9 97.2

Hi Torontoguy:
Well, you've got REM and an acceptible RDI in the pressures of 7, 9 or 10, so yeah, I'd agree, those 3 pressures all appear OK.
