2. Apnea–hypopnea index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apnea–hypopnea_index

   The Apnea–Hypopnea Index or Apnoea–Hypopnoea Index (AHI) is an index used to indicate the severity of sleep apnea. It is represented by the number of apnea and hypopnea events per hour of sleep. Apnea is the complete absence of airflow through your nose and mouth. Hypopnea is a partial collapse of your airway, limiting breathing.

3. Respiratory disturbance index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_disturbance_index

   The respiratory disturbance index (RDI)—or respiratory distress Index—is a formula used in reporting polysomnography (sleep study) findings. Like the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), it reports on respiratory distress events during sleep, but unlike the AHI, it also includes respiratory-effort related arousals (RERAs). [1]

   [46] [citation needed] High probability patients were identified by an Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score of 10 or greater and a Sleep Apnea Clinical Score (SACS) of 15 or greater. [47] Home oximetry, however, does not measure apneic events or respiratory event-related arousals and thus does not produce an AHI value.

7. Sleep apnea - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_apnea

   The condition, also called treatment-emergent central apnea, is generally detected when obstructive sleep apnea is treated with CPAP and central sleep apnea emerges. [18] The exact mechanism of the loss of central respiratory drive during sleep in OSA is unknown but is most likely related to incorrect settings of the CPAP treatment and other ...
