Measured during a sleep study, AHI refers to the number of apneas and hypopneas you have per hour.

While continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy delivers air at one fixed pressure, automatic positive airway pressure (APAP) is a type of therapy delivery that automatically changes throughout the night (based on your needs) to deliver only the lowest pressure you need at any given time. This means that the device only increases the press [..]

"Apnea" means "no breath." An apnea happens when you stop breathing for 10 seconds or longer during sleep.

Adaptive servo-ventilation is a type of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy that treats a range of central breathing disorders, including periodic breathing, such as Cheyne–Stokes respiration (CSR).

AutoSet is the name of ResMed’s APAP technology, which adjusts the therapy pressure delivered to you as your needs change—hourly, nightly and from season to season—to deliver the ideal, lowest therapy pressure.

While CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) therapy delivers air at one fixed pressure, bilevel therapy, or variable positive airway pressure (VPAP) therapy, delivers two different levels of pressure:  

Using your height and weight, your body mass index (BMI) is calculated to assess if you are at your ideal weight, overweight or underweight.

A chest wall disorder is one that affects the connection between the muscles and bones around the rib cage and the respiratory system (that is, the organs in your body that help you to breathe).

This is the name of ResMed’s humidification technology.
