The accuracy of BPAP determined apnea-hypopnea index

4.2 Sleep and Control of Breathing, 2015
Purpose: Bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) devices do not only titrate BPAP pressures but also measure residual respiratory event. The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of BPAP derived residual apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Methods: We studied 100 patients who underwent in laboratory overnight PSG (polysomnography) using BPAP ...

The accuracy of autotitrating CPAP-determined residual apnea–hypopnea index

Sleep and Breathing, 2013
Autotitrating continuous positive airway pressure (auto-CPAP) devices not only titrate CPAP pressures but also measure residual respiratory events. The aim of the present study was to determine the accuracy of auto-CPAP-derived residual apnea-hypopnea index (AHI).We studied 137 consecutive patients (72.3% men) with obstructive sleep apnea from January ...

Choice of Oximeter Affects Apnea-Hypopnea Index

Chest, 2005
Current Medicare guidelines include an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) > or = 15 events per hour, in which all hypopneas must be associated with 4% desaturation, to qualify for reimbursement for therapy with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The present data demonstrate the effect of pulse oximeter differences on AHI.Prospective study, blinded ...

Evaluation of an alternative definition for the apnea-hypopnea index

2010 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology, 2010
The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) plays a major role in determining whether a patient suffers from SAHS, as well as in evaluating the severity of his/her condition. To obtain this index the number of apneas and hypopneas that the patient has experienced during his/her sleep is calculated, and the result is divided by the number of hours of sleep.

The Apnea–Hypopnea Index Underestimates Systemic Inflammation in Women with Sleep-Disordered Breathing

Journal of Women's Health, 2018
Background: Evidence suggests that sleep-related respiratory and related metabolic compromise may vary between females and males with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).

Apnea–hypopnea index in nonobese women with polycystic ovary syndrome

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2009
AbstractObjectiveTo assess the influence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) on respiratory events during sleep in nonobese Taiwanese women.MethodOvernight polysomnography was recorded in 18 nonobese women with PCOS who had not received treatment (body mass index [BMI] 21.7 ± 0.57, age 29.1 ± 1.43 years) and in 10 age‐ and BMI‐matched women without ...

Esophageal pressure and apnea hypopnea index in sleep‐disordered breathing

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 2000
AbstractSeverity of negative esophageal pressure (Pes) and apnea hypopnea index (AHI) were investigated in six cases of upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) and 11 cases of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The severity of negative Pes was represented by the highest peak (Pes Max) and the number of increased episodes (more than 13.5 cmH2O ...

Baseline apnea-hypopnea index threshold and adenotonsillectomy consideration in children with OSA

International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 2021
Adenotonsillectomy (AT) is the first line of treatment for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In some treatment guidelines, children with moderate to severe OSA, defined as apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 5, may be recommended AT regardless of symptoms. The differences in outcomes between children randomized to watchful waiting with supportive care (
