Diagnostic Aspects of Sleep Disordered Breathing

Nic Butkov, RPSGT

Objectives for this lecture are to enable the participant to examine the process of identifying, scoring and interpreting sleep-related breathing abnormalities, as seen on a standard polysomnogram. Emphasis is placed on abnormal pattern recognition, relative to the physiological aspects of various sleep disordered breathing syndromes. Discussions of current recording methodologies, standard respiratory event scoring criteria, arousal definitions and the recognition of artifacts are included.
