Raw data was reviewed and this was the interpretation:
- Total Sleep time was 284 minutes (4.7 hours)
- Sleep onset took 62.5 minutes
- REM onset was at 50 minutes (classified as early and attributed to initiation of CPAP and profound sleep deprivation)
- Sleep was fragmented with 65 arousals and awakenings of which 38 were due to spontaneous factors
- Sleep efficiency was 76.7%
- BP 110/72 pretest and posttest was 106/70
- BLPAP settings start at 8.0/4.0 and all levels were tested while patient was asleep
- Review of all data shows 12.0/8.0 offers the best control of respiratory events, snoring and improvement in sleep architecture
- Reduction in sleep apnea/hypopnea was from 69.5 events/hour to 2.2 events/hour
In other words it worked in the testing environment now I get to try this at home.
U can do it! I'm sure adjusting will SUCK, but I'm guessing that getting to experience that elusive and necessary thing called actual SLEEP will be sooooooo worth it.
