Sleepyhead daily report question

[WOGDOG]

i was looking at my sleepy head daily report to check out my new PR FitLife mask compared to my HC431.
and i hace a couple of questions about the line of info above my EVENT Flags Chart, it reads.
AI=0.44 HI=0.44 CAI=0.44 REI=1.75 VAI=1.17 FLI=0.73 PB/CSR=0.00%


what do these letters mean

where can i find info on how to get the graphs so i can post them for use on this forum

Hi Wogdod. Some of the items in your list aren't included in the glossary. AFAIK, the following apply:

• AI = Apnea index. The total number of apneas (including central, obstructive and undefined) per hour
  
• HI = Hypopnea index. Total number of hypopneas per hour
  
• AHI = Apnea - hypopnea index. The total number of apneas plus hypopneas per hour
  
• REI = ??
  
• VAI = ??
  
• FLI = Flow limitation index. Flow limitation events per hour
  
• PB/CSR = Periodic breathing / Cheyne-Stokes respiration
  

Not sure of the second part of the question. Assuming you can see the daily graphs, you need to save them as a jpg or png file. Easiest way to do this is to do a screen dump {Alt}{PrtScrn} or in Windows use the snipping tool. Save the image file somewhere convenient on your computer, then use the attachment tool under your new reply text box. Let me know if that's not what you meant.

• AI = Apnea index. The AVERAGE number of apneas (including central, obstructive and undefined) per hour
  
• HI = Hypopnea index. AVERAGE number of hypopneas per hour
  
• AHI = Apnea - hypopnea index. The AVERAGE number of apneas plus hypopneas per hour
  
• REI = AVERAGE number of respiratory effort related arousals (RERAs) per hour
  
• VSI = AVERAGE number of vibratory snores that result can result in a pressure increase (VS snores) per hour
  
• FLI = Flow limitation index. AVERAGE number of Flow limitation events per hour
  
• PB/CSR = Periodic breathing / Cheyne-Stokes respiration. Percentage of night spent in periodic breathing patterns. CSR is one type of periodic breathing.

Its all good, AHI at or below 5 considered good number to be at
Your AHI is less than 1 .... Congrats
Whats the leak numbers

The other important question ... how you feel

Thanks Robysue - I knew I could count on you to fix up any errors or omissions.
