Are there standard fluctuations in AHI readings? - peteetah - 09-05-2017 I am wondering if differences in AHI readings from 12.xx to 39.xx are reasonable to expect from cap therapy from night to night? RE: Are there standard fluctuations in AHI readings? - chill - 09-05-2017 Simply put, no. A variation from 0.1 to 2.5 might be not totally unexpected. A baseline of 12 is really, really high. Untreated high. 39 is off the charts for a treated AHI. Post some details and sleepyhead screen shots for help. RE: Are there standard fluctuations in AHI readings? - st8800 - 09-06-2017 With a pressure of 14 and you are still facing up to 39 AHI, you may need more than an APAP to treat you.
