In whose body?
How many micro events are also present?
AHI measures one kind of event. There are many.
In general they like to see under 5 per hour.
In fact it is on indicator amongst many that indicate how CPAP is working or not.
May any shills trolls sockpuppets or astroturfers at cpaptalk.com be like chaff before the wind!

Re: How many AHI's are acceptable?
It's the number per hour, taken over days, weeks, etc., that counts... not the # per night, because we all sleep for different lengths of time, some take bathroom breaks that therefore aren't reflected in the 'night', others are a bit uneven in general throughout a night, etc. etc., so no one should go by what happens on any one night, but by a consensus of e.g. at least a week's results ... on a per hour basis.

Re: How many AHI's are acceptable?
The number that's commonly used to indicate good treatment is 5 per hour. But as mentioned above, don't get too excited about one nights numbers.

Thanks everyone. I think I now know what I needed to know.
