5 obstructive apneas & 64 ostructive hypopneas

Posted by Angela on February 01, 2002 at 04:32:54:

I went to sleep clinic & they have mailed my results. My next Doctors appt. @ the ENT is not until Feb. 22nd & I would like to know what some of these things mean that they discovered before then. There were 5 obstructive apneas & 64 obstructive hypopneas. The apnea index was 1/hour & resiratory disturbance index was 11/hour. Also, what do they mean when they say the longest respiratory event was 48 seconds? Waking oxygen was 98% & lowest recorded was 91%. Snoring was moderate to severe. What do they mean by sleep architecure was severely fragmented by arousals-49/hour most spontaneous arousals? They say that sleep apnea was severe in REM sleep and that there was also an increased number of spontaneous arousals suggesting upper airway resistance syndrome--what is that? Any information would help--I would like to have some idea of what all this means before Feb. 22nd. Thank you!
