Is There A List Of Acronyms ? AHI? etc... - player - 02-08-2015 New to CPAP and everyone uses acronyms to describe different things. Where can I find what the acronyms stand for and maybe a definition? RE: Is There A List Of Acronyms ?

AHI? etc... - player - 02-08-2015 Found one: AHI (apnea hypopnea index scores) ? RE: Is There A List Of Acronyms ? AHI? etc... - DeepBreathing - 02-08-2015 Apnea index (AI) is the average number of apneas per hour Hypopnea index (HI) is the average number of hypopneas per hour AHI = AI + HI (Hypopnea is a reduction in airflow which is significant enough to affect your respiration but not a complete cessation. Typically a 40% or 50% reduction, depending on which school you went to). |
