Sleep Apnoea Forum Bringing Help + Support to the Patient
Anyone know the answer to these questions ....google has mixed answers ?
Hi All
Does anyone know the cut off in the UK for time spent below 89% Sat for a toddler before treatment is issued and is oxygen therapy the usual first line treatment?
What is the definition of Bradycardia while asleep in a toddler ? Can it be the reason for apnea or part of the symptoms produced ?
Thanks in advance
Carol

You 2 make it sound so appealing! My wife and I want the experience. People ask me all the time about the differences between the 2 types of medicine. I always have to tell them that I really can't comment on any other country's medical practices. I would like to see what the differences are first hand. My wife feels the same way. I have a 1 year verbal commitment currently, and my wife has about that long in additional training. We will evaluate our situation and see what happens next for us after that. Who knows,4 years ago I thought I would never leave Indianapolis. Since then I worked in 3 different cities before making Denver my home.

I think both you and your wife's commitments are great Rock. We would welcome you here with open arms too :) The weather is a big thing for us though as we don't get enough of the good stuff and for those of us who crave it hop over to Europe. I'm sure there'd be openings for work for you both when the time comes, and I'd certainly help you :)

The SleepCube was a private purchase, as way back then my local sleep clinic assessed patients by filming them overnight, whilst wearing an oximeter, and only issued CPAP machines without humidifiers. There was no remote monitoring and…"

I didn't use PatientsKnowBest (ironic name), but I have an email address for my heart department for sending in ECGs. I was just saying that they may be able to review a PDF when then cannot review a data file from your O2 ring.

Wellu O2 Ring - is it accurate enough for the medics?
Moving some furniture my long lost O2 ring continuous oxygen saturation monitor turned up. So I've been wearing it and it tells me I have loads of saturation drops during the night even though my Airsense 10 says I have very few apneas.So I get two…See More

Just thought I'd give an update. So, I had my appointment with the NHS sleep clinic which was much quicker than I anticipated and I've now had the overnight sleep study. My AHI is now 6, down from over 30, so I'm…"

My sleep clinic discharged me, saying they were happy I was self-managing. Roll on a decade and the cardiologists taking care of me were very unimpressed and I was re-enrolled. I expect remote monitoring with current generation Resmed…"

Thanks again for the info. My cpap *should* be monitored by the NHS though I haven’t had any contact from them since pre-covid. I checked out the link you gave to access extra data and I think that’s going to be…"

I have the ResMed Airsense 10 Autoset (APAP). It's monitored remotely by my NHS sleep clinic and I believe they can make changes to the settings. I don't know whether they are notified if I make changes, nor whether they…"

Thanks for the reply. I'd say that I'm fairly technical. I have the ResMed Airsense 10 Elite machine. I've discovered that I can upload data wirelessly from my machine and having lowered the pressure by…"

You don't say how technical you are, or what sort of machine you use. However https://www.sleephq.com/ has software which allows you to upload data from compatible machines, and analyse your sleep "score", including a…"
