The CPAP machine itself does not control your SPO2 or oxygen saturation, so there is no part that controls this. Simplified, SPO2 is the amount of oxygen, expressed as a percent, found in the blood. Your optimal SPO2 is determined during your sleep study. The RT or Polysomnographer that performed your sleep study would adjust your pressure, measured in centimeters of water, to determine what decreases your apnea events while keeping your SPO2 as optimal as possible. This is called titrating. So essentially the oxygen saturation is controlled by the pressure setting that is determined by your physician as your therapeutic level or range.
If by using a pulse ox monitor, you have determined that your SPO2 is dropping while using your CPAP machine, you should discuss these finding with your physician because a new sleep study may be required.

Why are aquatic animals breathe much faster than terrestrail animals?
Depends on oxygen saturation. Generally, the oxygen saturation in water is about 10% that of the oxygen saturation in air. But this varies on every part of the world. In LA the saturation is lower than what would be in other areas because of pollution. In areas that arent yet habited by fish may have a higher saturation than that of a body of water that is habited by fish.

Why do people suffer strokes?
Stroke is a medical condition where part of the brain dies as a result from a blood clot. The blod clot blocks the flow of blood to the part, depriving that part of the brain with oxygen and nutrients. As such, paralysis of body parts which that part of the brain controls, ensues.
How often should oxygen be used and how much water should one drink to remove fluid from the lungs?
This is a two part question:1. How often should oxygen be used. Home oxygen therapy is used for patients unable to maintain an oxygen saturation over 88%. It is also used for people who have sleep apnea but do not need or tolerate CPAP therapy. If you are prescribed oxygen for sleep apnea, you only need to wear it at night. If you wear it for hypoxia (COPD, CHF, etc), you may need to only wear oxygen when you are active, or you may need it all the time. The precribing provider should give you that information. Follow the instructions your provider gave you.2. Fluid restriction can be used to help control Congestive heart failure, in addition to diuretics. There is no strict number that works for everyone. You should discuss this with your provider. Typically, fluid restriction is less than 2 liters per day, but your provider will tailor this to your specific needs.
