Who should be tested in the sleep laboratory?
Rev Neurol Dis.
2004 Summer.
Abstract
Sleep laboratory testing with nocturnal and daytime polysomnography is an indispensable procedure for the evaluation of patients with sleep-disordered breathing, pathological excessive daytime sleepiness, and complex motor disorders. Titration of positive airway pressure apparatuses should be performed in conjunction with polysomnography. A sleep laboratory test yields best results when the procedure is based on proper clinical evaluation of the disorder.
