What do the "Events" numbers mean?

Post by boognish » Sat Apr 16, 2011 10:16 am

In the detailed ResMed log, the events show up as bars with a number in a box above them. What exactly do those numbers mean? Mine from last night all averaged between 10 and 18, and in the summary sheet it said that I had an apnea index of 2.1 and an AHI of 2.1.

The numbers indicate the length, in seconds, that the events lasted.
