Diagnostic Criteria for OSA using PSG
AHI
-AHI 5 to 14/hour sleep plus one or more sleep-associated conditions
or
-AHI ≥15/hour sleepRDI
RDI
-RDI 5 to 14/hour sleep plus one or more sleep associated conditions¶

Definition of apnea according to AASM (American Academy of Sleep Medicine)
drop in the peak thermal sensor excursion by ≥ 90% of baseline that lasts for at least 10 seconds (complete or nearly complete (≥ 90%) cessation of inspiratory airflow for ≥ 10 seconds)
Hypopnea Defn: Hypopnea: airflow reduction by ≥ 30% of the pre-event baseline for ≥ 10 seconds in combination with either desaturation by ≥ 3% or arousal from sleep
Peak sensor excursion refers to the maximum deviation or change detected by a sensor from its baseline or resting state. In the context of sleep studies, particularly when diagnosing conditions like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), peak sensor excursion typically pertains to the measurement of airflow or respiratory effort. This is often assessed using thermal sensors or other respiratory monitoring devices that detect changes in airflow through the nasal and oral passages.
