Easy Sleepy Head Question

Post by dragonflybeach » Wed Jul 18, 2012 3:20 pm

I'm only asking because I can't find the answer when I search but I'm pretty sure I've read about it before.

In SH, how long does an apnea-like event have to last before it is recorded as an OA/CA/ect?
I have a whole bunch that last 7-8 seconds that don't get recorded but the ones that are 10+ seconds are being recorded.
Did I just answer my own question?

Thank you.

Thank you.
I see it now, there in the Glossary under: Apnea, Hypopnea, Hypopnea Index.
