Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) - the number of apneas and hypopneas per hour of sleep, used more loosely in Sleep SMART to refer to the number of apneas and hypopneas per hour of recording by the Nox T3 sleep apnea testing device, which records breathing, but not sleep. - Page 18 Obstructive Hypopnea — an episode of partial closure of the airway during sleep, for at least 10 seconds resulting in reduced air exchange, blood oxygen drops, and/or brain arousals. Polysomnogram — often called a “sleep study,” this test is attended by a technologist, in a sleep laboratory.
