Apnea (A)
Apnea, in diagnostic terms, is a reduction in airway flow of more than 90 % for at
least 10 s. This respiratory therapy device monitors airflow and can thus estimate
when apnea has occurred.
Hypopnea (H)
Hypopnea, in diagnostic terms, is a reduction in airway flow of at least 30% for
at least 10 s associated with a reduction in oxygen saturation of at least 3%. This
respiratory therapy device monitors airflow and can thus estimate when hypopnea
has occurred
Apnea-hypopnea-index (AHI)
In diagnostic terms, the apnea-hypopnea index is the average number of apnea
and hypopnea events occurring per hour of sleep. This respiratory therapy device
records the duration of therapy, as well as changes in respiratory airflow, which
it evaluates as apnea or hypopnea events. These data are used by the device to
calculate the average number of such events per hour of therapy.
