Is Your CPAP Working?

Hey Sleep Warrior,
Ever feel curious about whether your CPAP machine is really working?
This is one of my primary concerns when patients come in for their CPAP follow-ups.
Lucky for both of us, we have a numerical guide to help us - the AHI (apnea-hypopnea index).
In today’s Sleep Byte, I’ll give a simple explanation of what AHI is and how it’s essential not just for diagnosing sleep apnea but for witnessing the real-time effectiveness of your treatment.
Check out today’s video to learn how to use your machine’s AHI as a powerful motivator to keep using your CPAP every night.
Sleep Well,
