Spikes [in a graph] rising above the average value

Like you say, these spikes are measured against the average respiratory effort (I think, Q) to indicate obstructions in the airway or other possible causes. (?)

See below

'Spikes above mean values', seems to fit, in a reading compared to a constant (Q), obtained empirically, trying to obtain a media of the overall behavior.

Instead of spikes you might try "crests" as "crests and troughs" of a graph.

Thanks for the points.
