Abstract

Measurement methods with graded complexity for use in the lab as well as for home sleep testing (HST) are available for the diagnosis of sleep apnea, and there are different classification systems in existence. Simplified HST measurements, which record fewer parameters than traditional four- to six-channel devices, can indicate sleep apnea and can be used as screening tool in high-prevalence patient groups. Peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) is a technique which can be suitable for the diagnosis of sleep apnea in certain cases. Different measurement methods are used, which has an influence on the significance of the results. New minimal-contact and non-contact technologies of recording and analysis of surrogate parameters are under development. If they are validated by clinical studies, it will be possible to detect sleep apnea in need of treatment more effectively. In addition, this could become a solution to monitor the effectiveness of such treatment.
