2nd night, fantasic sleep.

Josh S · Post by **Josh S** » Thu Apr 27, 2006 8:28 am

Last night was my second night with my APAP. I feel like a new me, awake and alert!

Thanks to ufo13 I was able see my sleep data.

AHI 3.9
AI 0.2
HI 3.7

MASK FIT *** GOOD

PRESSURE 8.2 (I'm glad i got the APAP, seeing as my prescription was for 6 and I seem to need 8.2)

QUESTION: I know what AHI is, but what are AI and HI and what are good numbers there?

AI is the number of events identified as apneas, expressed as a rate per hour. HI is the number of events identified as hypopneas, expressed as a rate per hour. AHI is simply the sum of AI and HI to give the total rate of respiratory events (and is in my opinion most comparable to "RDI" in a PSG study).

HIGH FIVE !!

I'm glad you have discovered APAP (and this forum) and that it seems to be working for you.

Thanks for reminding us "What it's all about" .

Congratulations. I was also fortunate enough to quickly adapt to CPAP usage with no real problems. I've even found that I'm back to getting about 6 hours or so of sleep each night, which is what I normally got years ago. It makes for a much better day now that I don't spend the entire afternoon sleeping at my desk.

Josh,

WOW... That's GREAT !!

I'm still waiting to get all my equipment, but I sure do hope I have the same experience as you.

That's what many of us need.... Success Stories.
