The article discusses the use of portable sleep apnea detection kits at home. Using a monitor that measures blood oxygen and at least three other variables, such as air flow, chest movement and heart rate, is recommended. A kit may be loaned by one's doctor or ordered through a company ...
If you havesymptoms of sleep apnea, your doctor may ask you to have asleep apnea test, called apolysomnogram(PSG). This may be done in asleep disordercenter or even at home. A polysomnogram -- or sleep study -- is a multiple-component test that electronically sends and records specific...
To evaluate the usefulness of a portable recording device (Oxyflow, EdenTec) to measure oronasal airflow, oxygen saturation and arterial pulse for diagnosing sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) using conventional polysomnography as the gold standard. Sixty-two subjects suspected of having SAS were studied pr...
This is another type of sleep test you do at home to measure how well you sleep. You wear a sensor on your wrist oranklefor a few days or weeks to monitor you while you're asleep and awake. Actigraphy can help your doctor diagnose insomnia, sleep apnea, and othertypes of sleep disord...

The article discusses the use of at-home test to diagnose sleep apnea. Certain home sleep diagnostics devices have been approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in the U.S. in 2008. One of these is the Peripheral Arterial Tone (PAT) technology from Itamar Medical. ...

Obstructive sleep apneaPurposeObstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is highly prevalent in the elderly. Unattended, at-home portable monitoring (PM) is a diagnostic alternative to polysomnography in adults with high clinical probability of OSAS. However, no studies have evaluated the diagnostic ...
