Quick Steps for SLEEP STUDY
If AHI greater than 30,
then CPAP titration recommended (URGENT).
If AHI greater than 15,
then CPAP titration recommended.
If AHI greater than 5 and daytime
sleepiness,
then CPAP titration recommended.
If oxygen desaturation
less than 80%,
then CPAP titration recommended.
If low AHI and daytime sleepiness,
then MSLT recommended.
If PLM Arousal Index greater than 5,
then drug therapy and follow-up sleep study.

Quick Steps for CPAP TITRATION
Effective CPAP titration should:
reduce AHI to 5 or less and,
increase lowest O2 desaturation
to
90% or more.
CPAP Titration table should:
enable physician to verify the efficacy of the
recommended pressure by examining the
patient's response to different CPAP pressures.
