Post by bank4cat » Sun Sep 17, 2006 8:01 pm

I have 5 nights of data my AHI from .06 to 1.9 events per hour, I am looking at my sleep study at hospital and it reads i was at 28.2 per hour and when put on a pressure of 8 they dropped to 7.4 so i think these maybe good results thanx for any response

I have read that genrelly, an AHI under 5 is good ... although there are some that try and shoot for zero ... which is obviously bestest!!

Just to be curious, get a few days with the 431 and compare AHI and let us know if there's a big difference. Inquireing Minds. Jim

If I can keep mine under 5 I am happy.

Last night it was 2.2.

It does vary depending on what I did during the day (& what I had with dinner at night )
