Ok thanks do they look at it, at all? Like the stats etc. just worried as i havent been using it as much as i should because i cant physically get to sleep wearing it after ivd been on nights, and if im back the same night i give up after an hour coz i cant tolerate loosing even an hours sleep with it x

No but if your oxygen saturation is low they will pick it up at preop
