Total AI vs. Measured AI's

Total AI vs. Measured AI's
Last night my central AI was 7.0, obstructive was 0.2 but total AI was 13.2....AHI was 13.3. I understand minimal difference between total AI and AHI, i don't understand difference of 6 between between measured AI's and total AI. Any thoughts? Thanks

Did you count Hypopnea?

Post an OSCAR chart so we can see the apnea count.

RE: Total AI vs. Measured AI's
Like OpalRose indicated, AI = Apnea Index and AHI = Apnea-Hypopnea Index.
