1. Beyond AHI: An OSA Management Workshop Carrissa Hankins, MSN, FNP-C
The Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) uses frequency of breathing events as a surrogate for severity when describing sleep-disordered breathing. In the context of CPAP management, relying solely on the AHI to determine clinical success is like using a pulse oximeter in place of an arterial blood gas. It provides a partial - yet incomplete - picture. In this workshop-style presentation, we’ll go beyond AHI to support our patients on the road to optimal therapeutic experiences with CPAP.
