What is a "normal' AHI in someone being treated with CPAP?

Am wondering if an AHI of 2.4 to 2.6 is normal or indicates something like a leak?

Dr Barry Krakow is supposed to have one or two good books out too. I don't "do" medical books usually since they are too soon outdated for the price you pay for them. Dr Krakow also has a website so you can get some idea about the book(s).
Tess, that AHI is the envy of many patients. AHI is quite important, but at a low figure like that, as long as your days find you awake & you perceive you nights as restful, I'd play the cards in hand!

I read one of Dr. Krakow's books - Sound Sleep, Sound Mind. Pretty good read.

Thanks, Mike. I couldn't remember the title(s). I usually prefer books to reading online, but when it comes to medical "stuff", info is outdated so fast .... I save my book money for books by Clancy, Cook, Cussler, Patterson, Kellerman, Grisham ..... *wicked grin*
