AHI: Apnea hypopnea index is defined as the number of these events recorded in a psg test per hour of sleep. This index must first be objectively discovered and it is the standard by which a board certified sleep specialist uses in diagnosing the level of obstructive sleep apnea and makes recommendations like CPAP before treating a particular condition.
