An example tracing of expiratory flow limitation during NREM sleep. Flow was measured with both a pneumotachograph () and nasal cannula (PN). Nasal pressure was also linearized using the square root transform ( V.PN12). During EFL periods, expiratory positive airway pressure developed at the level of the epiglottis (Pepi) without any increase in expiratory flow. Dashed lines show the scored arousals.
