Monitoring sleep and breathing: methodology. Part I: Monitoring breathing

B A Phillips et al. Clin Chest Med. 1998 Mar.

Abstract

There is considerable variation in monitoring techniques and definitions of sleep-disordered breathing. Work underway in the Sleep Heart Health Study may help to clarify these issues. Home and portable monitoring have the potential to improve cost and convenience of diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders but are currently indicated only in specific instances. Detection and monitoring of pediatric sleep-disoriented breathing varies considerably from that of adults.
