Re: Questions about AHI

Do you have even one night of the AHI breakdown? Yes, I have last night's data. This is with the adjustment of putting the minimum pressure up to 6 (from 4) and dropping the max to 15 (from 20). (Data in attachements) oh! i'm so happy that the software at least produces a chart. will have to tuck t...

Re: Questions about AHI

Thanks for posting your one night of data; that's really helpful! Unfortunately the chart makes no distinction between central and obstructive apnea events, but that isn't so important for you, since most of your events are hypopneas. They, too, *might* be central instead of obstructive, but let's ...

Re: Questions about AHI

AHI - on the machine - basically means the number of interruptions it identified in your breathing. And while knowing that is necessary for optimizing therapy, the number does not necessarily mean the number of interruptions per hour when you're asleep . Our breathing while awake, or while in trans...

Re: Questions about AHI

Are you seeing anything that would give you more information about the breakdown of your AHI that Zonker mentioned? The basic components are: Obstructive apneas: may be reduced with a higher minimum pressure. Hypopneas: may be reduced with a higher minimum pressure and/or EZEX (a form of pressure r...

Re: Questions about AHI

Thanks to you both! I was able to get into the software and have full adjustment control over the settings. The configuration allows me to adjust the pressure. Do I need to bump the minimum number up from 4? Let me know if you have any ideas for what I should experiment with.

Re: Questions about AHI

welcome to the zoo. as you've gleaned, the machine is going to be a bit of a challenge as it won't work with tracking software favored by the forum. or really any that i know of. Thank you for the warm welcome! are you sure it's set at 0 as the minimum and not 4 or 5 or such? also, do you have the ...

Questions about AHI

I've been a cpap user for a few years now and I've used the Transcend 365 as my main machine since I've started (now on my second machine). When I did the at home sleep study, they said my AHI was 48 - so very severe. Since using the machine, I now average about 4.46. That said, it doesn't really se...
