ResScan Essentials Clinical Guide

Detailed graphs

By default, when you click Detailed graphs, you can access both summary data and high-resolution data. Along the top you'll find identity details for the patient. Below the identity information, you will see:

  • date of the tracings

  • number of therapy hours (rounded to the nearest value).

Use graphs to investigate areas of concern

Clinicians can view detailed graphs from the menu that highlight categories worth investigating, including Leak, Flow, SpO2 and Pressure. These graphs give a clear overview of the entire night’s sleep and let clinicians zoom in on isolated therapy concerns that could impact patient outcomes.

To focus on a specific parameter, select it from the menu below the date on the left side of the screen.

Traces

The traces section will look different for each patient, as this is defined by the therapy modes on their PAP device. Among the various traces that can be displayed are:

  • Pressure (cm H2O or hPa) which can include Mean, Inspiratory, Expiratory (cm H2O or hPa which can be set in Options)

  • Flow (L/min or L/sec which can be set in Options)

  • AutoSet Pressure (cm H2O or hPa)

  • Leak (L/min or L/sec)

  • Apnea or Hypopnea events—can include classification of different apnea events: obstructive, central, and unknown

  • Flattening/Flow limitation (flat to round)

  • Snore (quiet to loud)

  • Minute ventilation (L/min) and Target ventilation

  • Respiratory rate (breaths/min)

  • Tidal volume (mL)

  • I:E ratio

  • Inspiratory time (sec)
