Scroll down the graphs, one will have red lines w/a box at top w/a number in it. The red lines are the apneas you experienced that night. The number in the box is the length of time in seconds that apnea lasted. Your Resmed adds up the number of apneas and divides them by the number of hours you slept to determine your AI (apnea index=number of apneas per hour you experienced).
Its been quite a while since I used the Resmed S8 Elite w/EPR, the Elite model previous to your S8 Elite II. So I don't remember all the graphs provided by the Elite data. I use the Resmed VPAP Auto now (a bi-level).
We are glad you joined. Here you will find information about sleep apnea, treatment options, and other sleep related disorders.
If you are fairly new to the world of sleep apnea, please check out the FAQ tab and under the Groups tab, the new users group and the collective wisdom section. You may find those of particular importance in learning the language often used on the forum, solutions to common issues patients may have, and other information you may find useful.
If you have been around the world of sleep apnea for a while, we hope you still find the site informative and of interest.
Please feel free to share your thoughts, ideas, comments, questions, etc.
