Digital Tools in Polysomnography
Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2002Recent advances in the computing power and storage devices have made computer-based recording of polysomnograms (PSGs) very attractive. Digital PSGs offer the possibility of automating many tedious and time-consuming tasks of identifying sleep related events.

Chest, 2007
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder associated with serious health consequences, increased health-care utilization, and economic burden. With greater public and medical attention to sleep disorders, the volume of referrals for sleep studies over the last decade has increased by approximately 12-fold.

The History of Polysomnography
Sleep Medicine Clinics, 2009Similar to the first anatomists or the first radiographers, sleep scientists and physicians used electroencephalography and later polysomnography as means of "peering in" to the workings of the human body with the hope of gaining understanding. The rapid advancement of sleep research, made possible by the development of polysomnography, permitted not ...

Polysomnography in Children [PDF]
, 2009 Polysomnography is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children. Pediatric polysomnography should be performed in a sleep laboratory equipped for children and staffed by qualified personnel following the American Thoracic Society (ATS) standards for testing.

How to interpret polysomnography
Archives of disease in childhood - Education & practice edition, 2019A 5-year-old child presents to a paediatric clinic with their parents because of concerns about snoring, which is loud, every night and associated with respiratory pauses. This has been present for 6 months. Can clinical evaluation diagnose sleep-disordered breathing in children or are further investigations required?

Polysomnography in Drug Development
The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 1997Polysomnography in drug development is used to detect desirable and undesirable effects of drugs on normal and disturbed sleep. Although this method is essential for the approval of new hypnotic drugs, it is quite often neglected in the development of drugs that show unwanted side effects on normal sleep.

Clinical value of polysomnography
The Lancet, 1992Polysomnography is used increasingly to investigate patients with possible sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (SAHS), but it has not been assessed critically. We thus examined prospectively the value of electrophysiological and respiratory monitoring in 200 consecutive adults (163 men, 37 women; mean [SD] age 50 [13] years) having polysomnography.

Polysomnography in locked-in syndrome
Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, 1991Sleep patterns were evaluated in a case of 'locked-in' syndrome. This patient had an ischemic infarction involving the ventral portion of the upper half of the pons bilaterally, with a posteromedial extension into the tegmentum. Reticular structures, notably the median raphe nuclei, supposed to play a major regulatory role in sleep, were most probably ...

Polysomnography: a systematic review*
Technology and Health Care, 1997Polysomnography refers to the continuous monitoring of multiple neurophysiological and cardiorespiratory variables, usually over the course of a night, to study normal and disturbed sleep. Electroencephalographic, electrooculographic and electromyographic channels provide the basis for staging the recording into successive epochs of wakefulness and ...

This chapter covers the technical and clinical aspects of polysomnography (PSG). Section 1 includes a brief review of the historical milestones, functional neuroanatomy of sleep, physiological changes (emphasizing those pertinent to overnight PSG interpretation) and clinical relevance as well as homeostatic and circadian factors, and functions of sleep.
