I don't think so, Sleepster. You'd need a pulse oximeter for that, I would think. Of course, low blood oxygen levels do affect AHI, but AHI is simply a measure of apneas and hypopneas as you stated on the wiki page... it's not a measure of O2 desaturation. --[[User:SuperSleeper|SuperSleeper]] 17:19, 28 January 2012 (UTC) | I don't think so, Sleepster.

Does the AHI is really evaluate the degree of oxygen desaturation?
